Hardly a suprise, I was at that gig.

Yes, I was also there.

Sorry to disappoint you folks but there was no Cilla Black or Little Eva - memory must be playing tricks. See attached poster from the tour. Cilla didn't start recording until the end of 63.

I also saw Big Dee Irwin at Nelson Imp think late 63, As Little Eve was the female voice on "Swinging On A Star" He apologised cos she was not with him, as she was on a tour in her own right, So would say Susie is right.

Sod it, sorry, didn't add the poster... here it is.

Having uploaded it I see there is a watermark - have now deleted it and will have to find the link instead.

Um could have sworn Cilla was there Susie, but I have been known to be wrong occasionally I know it was great value for money

Here's a link to the poster - Ipswich but same tour. Not sure if this pic has a watermark or not but not going to run the risk of posting it...

Same reason here cashy in fact was actually surprised that I like both the Beatles and G and the P too, when you could hear them

I knew about buzzcocks gig and maybe would have gone.Was in harrogate on my birthday so could not go.Having seen them support pistols and in manchester another time more recent ,i'd say they play it all too fast,too rushed.still great though. I dont mind
