Sheila I was there, if it was 1976? my favourite Reggae Singer. Brilliant guy, what a lose he was. Carolyn I will look out for that, by the way where they well drunk by the end of the night, trying to fight each other pmsl. What a bunch of blokes they were, pity the way Rod Stewart went liked him in the earlier days. Pat x

Might have been Barclay James Harvest. It was certainly at the Fairfield Halls Croydon. nell

Pat, I think you're probably right, but that's just like all the old concerts! It's hard to believe Rod's just turned 60, but I suppose it's all relevant, we're a lot older too! Carolyn

Sheila, That was the 2nd concert 1979, brilliant. I love seen Reggae Artists mentioned here, I always think people don't know who I am talking about, so it's great to speak to someone who was there, GREAT!!!! Respect Pat x

Sheila You feeling old or something? lol. Well all the people I was into are either dead or getting on and slowing down, but a lot of the old time Reggae Singers would give the newer ones a run for their money, BUT with QUALITY LMHO. Yep saw some good concerts at the Rainbow, I lived near it at that time. Pat x

My mum went to see Jackson 5 and Donny Osmond I think, Lucia :-)

Pat Report 6 Feb 2005 22:37

Tony Does your message mean you remember me? LMHO Or is it one of Jackie's many songs there was "Run Girl", "Come Back Girl" with Girl in the title and if I think a bit longer there would be more. He wrote "Keep On Running" and "Somebody Help Me" that Spencer Davis Group had hits with. Loved Jackie died of Heart Problems (due to Alcohol addiction). I have almost all his records. Pat x
