Glasgow University 8th November 1975. My mate was Ents Convener of Glasgow Uni and I pestered the hell out off him to book Be Bop Deluxe. Band were paid £220. I still have my ticket stub autographed by all of the band and yes, it was a stellar gig.
Dave, I know it was a long time ago, but can you remember how the gig was arranged/advertised, as I was desperate to see the band playing in Scotland.
Even though I was only 16 at the time, was going to 2/3 gigs a week back then, and this one slipped under the radar.
Only got to see them for the first time at Strathclyde University in January 1976
Hi Eddie, Glasgow University had a policy of gigs being open to university students from any UK unversity, IIRC Glasgow Uni students could son in one guest for a gig but I'm not sure - I was at uni in Ednburgh. The gig would have been advertised only within Glasgow Uni so unless you were a student there or knew scene who was, then you would be unlikely to know about it. As an aside, the spelt the "Be" of Be Bop deluxe as "Bee" on the ticket.
