Carol Stevenson - I also used to go to those 1960's shows where there were lots of acts on the bill, great times. I don't think Alvin Stardust was ever known as Duffy Powers! Alvin Stardust was originally Shane Fenton (& the Fentones), and Duffy Power was . . . . well, just Duffy Power! Am I right?

im sorry to say that it was boyzone at wembly arena limmy (still in love with ronan) xxx

Tommy Steele 1957 at The Globe Theatre Stockton on Tees. Joyce

It was 1963 I think, the band was called the High Numbers, the venue the cellar beneath the Railway Hotel Wealdstone. The High Numbers went on to be the Who. Later in the Sixties I think probably 1968 at the same venue we saw Fleetwood Mac. At that time, Peter Green on the guitar they were a blues band. Played to a half empty hall but they were brilliant! After that the Fleetwood Mac went downhill!

Christina & Andy - what great memories!! In Middlesbrough in the 1960's there used to be a club called Outlook and one Friday night, in the early 60's, both the Rolling Stones and the Hollies played on the same bill. I heard about it but I wasn't there.

I saw Shane Fenton and the Fentones, around 1960 at the Grantham Granada. It was long before he became Alvin Stardust. (We thought it was great because we had tea with them in the cafe. We had gone on the bus straight from school and they were having their pre-performance meal. I think we might still have been in our uniforms, before changing in the loo!)

Tina Turner supported by Peter Andre and Toto. July 1996 Alton Towers. Brilliant, that girl can move. Louise

The Specials at Skegness in 1979/80. Lorrainex

Iron Maiden at Whitley Bay Ice Rink on the Seventh Son Tour, the stage set was excellent and the Support Band 'Killer Dwarfs' from Canada were complete nutters lol I had to make the choice to see that gig with my brother or Erasure at Sheffield Arena with my then wife, I let her take her sister to that one!

Aah Whitley Bay ice rink brings back happy memories. But the Spanish City has gone now - sob sob. Oops sorry, going off the original thread. Lorrainex
