spudgun Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 In the late 70`s, early 80`s i saw quite a few bands at the city hall. I can`t remember which was my first but the one that stands out is Black Sabbath with Van Halen as support. Excellent gig:clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

le-joker Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 By pop star, can we say someone who sold records and got them into the top 10. Ok, Max Bygraves Blackpool 1950`s, Tommy Steele Blackpool, think it was 1956 and Lonnie Donegan, yeah you`ve guessed it Blackpool 1957. Oh, and I first saw the great Dave Berry and The Cruisers perform before they had started charging an entrance fee, that would be around 1957 or 58.

mikeG Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Dave Clark 5 , the kinks and the hollies all on the same bill at the city hall in 1960 . Don't think these three were on stage in 1960. Maybe 1963. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gumeracha Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 First pop star I saw was Guy Mitchell at the City Hall in the early 1950's. Also met Lonnie Donnegan,(about 1954) when he was the banjo player in Chris Barbers band, He introduced himself as Tony Donnegan.(Before Rock Island Line was even recorded). Later saw many great jazz musos, including Louis Armstrong, Jack Teagarden, George Lewis and of course Humph. Littleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
