Jim Hardie Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks for your reply Jim, Wow! 25 pence to see Dylan. Sometimes I wished I'd been born a few years earlier. I was born in 1955, so a bit earlier I could have seen Dylan, Hendrix and...... The Beatles. All the best and take care. - Pete Just spoken to my mate who was with me. He says it was 7/6d and I think he's probably right! Still a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefface Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I saw Peter Gabriel twice there amongst many others, the second one was a stunner. Can anyone remember the resident photographer there who you could buy prints from after the gig, a really nice bloke, I think his name was Jan Komensky?

Victor Meldrew Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Best gig I ever went to was Spyrogyra around 79/80, when they had 'Morning Dance' in the charts. Also saw Camel, Wishbone Ash & Tangerine Dream there but less memorable cos I've seen 'em lots of times at various venues. Camel are probably my favourite band ever!

Tobyjug Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Best gig I ever went to was Spyrogyra around 79/80, when they had 'Morning Dance' in the charts. Also saw Camel, Wishbone Ash & Tangerine Dream there but less memorable cos I've seen 'em lots of times at various venues. Camel are probably my favourite band ever! Which Camel? Weren't there two bands, one fronted by Peter Frampton, the other by Pete Bardon, I saw the latter a couple of times at the City Hall. ---------- Post added 24-07-2014 at 13:22 ---------- Pete Frampton's Camel was an album, not a band.
