Person6 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 (edited) For a project I'm involved in, I'm trying to track down any information on musicians, singers, actors etc who may have been performing in Sheffield Theatres, concert halls etc for the years 1936, 1938, 1943, 1953, 1958, 1964. Not looking for exact dates. Any information welcome before I go and plunge into archives proper. Got Ken Platt and Morecambe and Wise for 1953.

John_S6 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The Beatles at Sheffield City Hall, 9/11/64 If this setlist is right it can't have been a very long gig, must have been over in half an hour! https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-beatles/1964/sheffield-city-hall-sheffield-england-43dae30b.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Person6 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Thank you. Doesn't surprise me at all. My first concerts were at the City Hall and the Gaumont in 1964/65 They were "package" tours- six or seven artists doing about 15 minutes each.

They visited Sheffield four times that year (1963), the second being at the Azena Ballroom, White Lane, Gleadless in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
