Keef do you have any dates for Unity Hall Wakefield around the end of '74 or early '75.? This was my first ever gig and i have been unable to pin down an exact date. This would be for the second line up with Charlie and Simon (not sure about Andy Clark ). I do remember Bill wearing a Panama hat.
Cheers
Geetar I was at 2 Unity Hall concerts and wonder if these memories ring any bells for you?
The first one had Gygafo as support band and Bill wore a white/cream jacket over a red shirt.
Second was support by a band called Zirkdextron ? or Dirkzextron cant remember exactly but I remember Charlie was wearing a orange boiler suit and bowler hat.
I think they were still a 3 piece at both gigs.
I know Futurama had just come out so does that pin it down a bit?
