Royston Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Gene Vincent played there about the same time as Johnny Kidd. the name of the picture house was the plaza cinema i was a regular there Thanks for that folks. Yep think Gene Vincent might have been on the same bill that particular night. Also remember seeing Freddy and the Dreamers along with Duke Damone(sp) and the Baron Knights a fun night as you might imagine with those two!! We would be there any Sunday they had a show, very early sixties I think!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would be there any Sunday they had a show, very early sixties I think!! Don't forget lord such and the savages ! they are still regarded as the best rock'n'roll band in the land. The lead was bernie watson (strawberry ) the piano player played on the stones recordings. After this gig such had all the best guitar players in the land playing for him ---------- Post added 02-02-2013 at 19:18 ---------- I saw him at the Handsworth Plaza, Screaming Lord Sutch was on the same bill.
