Well as it was me mentioning my first concert on the Welsh thread then I think I'd better add my concerts.

My first was with my granddaughter when she was 8yrs old and that is when I took her to see Gareth gates with Will Young and Zoe Birkett at Sheffield 2002.

My only other concert was Russell Watson last year at LLangollen Eisteddfod.

Going to show my age here - and I wish I'd kept my membership card of The Cavern Club, it could've been worth something now.

I can recall seeing

The Quarrymen in Liverpool - the forerunner of the Beatles
The Beatles (as they became - I could hardly hear them above screams)
The Swinging Blue Jeans
Gerry & the Pacemakers
Dave Berry
The Dave Clark Five
The Kinks
Gene Pitney
Marianne Faithfull
The Supremes
Status Quo (superb)
Tina Turner
Bryan Adams
Black-eyed Peas

I'm pretty sure I caught other groups in Liverpool but my mind's gone blank - it's the age, you know.

Tinkers....l like them too, but do get annoyed at the one who tried the celeb ice skating thingie...grrr

I forgot, I saw a Christmas carol concert last year at the Albert Hall which was brilliant and Lesley Garrett was in it. She was very good.

jude ;-)

Oh dear Jude, I didnt add one person I saw in concert to my list. He was a very good showman at the time, but had I known then what we all know now I would have saved my money.

Am i the only one here who has seen Gary Glitter but now wish I hadnt?

Teresa

Yay, another Girly with good taste. :-)

We had the opportunity of seeing Marvin Gaye, but as the kiddlywinkles were very small, we could not afford the tickets............6 months later he was dead. Very sad.

Love Motown, sing it, dance it, live it.

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I used to go to The Calais in Dunstable, saw almost all of the Motown groups, Jimmy Ruffin was my absolute favourite but still adore the rest.

Before I got into Motown I saw Blackfoot Sue and some others but from then on, Motown became my world. Gosh, saw so many ...
