bdbooth Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I saw The Bee Gees at the City Hall, when there were five of them. Support was Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mick and Titch and Grapefruit. Must have been around 1968. I wore a pink tent dress with bell sleeves, a zip- up neck with a huge ring on the zip and an orange chiffon scarf. I have no idea why I would remember that, but I can see it now!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdbooth Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Actually I just remembered I saw Cliff Richard at the Gaumont in Barkers Pool, probably about 1964. I used to go to town with my mum on Saturdays and we were just passing and saw he was on, but I can't remember anything of the show. Did I dream it?

soft ayperth Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Lonnie Donnegan, who played banjo in the Chris Barber Jazz Band, breaking out into a skiffle group midway through the performance at the City Hall. ca. 1956. Rock Island Line and Diggin my Potatoes - real skiffle, not the chewing gum on the bedpost pop rubbish that he later sang. May 1957: Frankie Lymon & the Tennagers, also City Hall. Anyone remember that group? They were the forerunners of Mowtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzee2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The first pop star I saw live was David Cassidy about 1972, I think, in Manchester. It was at the height of his career. A few years later he revisited the UK and no one recognised him!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
