[1] Hodgkinson was hospitalised with a serious illness and, shortly after recovering in 1989, was asked by a friend, music booking agent Russell Warby, to collect Nirvana from the airport on their arrival for a British tour.

[2] Hodgkinson first danced on stage with Nirvana that year at a gig at Leeds Polytechnic when the band dared him to go onstage wearing the dress of Warby's girlfriend.

He remembered trying to avoid being hit by the bass guitar of Krist Novoselic and being cautious not to strike frontman Kurt Cobain with his flailing dance moves.

[4] Hodgkinson is remembered most for his dancing during Nirvana's headline appearance at the 1992 Reading Festival, by which time he was the drummer for indie rock band Bivouac.

[2] Hodgkinson, wearing baggy women's clothing, a tie, Chuck Taylor All-Stars shoes and clown face paint, danced in a convulsive manner with frequent pogoing to many of the songs.

[2] The set was largely unrehearsed and Hodgkinson recalled "I was absolutely shattered at the end of it" and had to wear a neck collar afterwards, because of whiplash.
