The reverse of the concert ticket was in use at my
father-in-law's house as a reminder when his fast-freeze function of
his freezer was switched on!
I remember the concert - it must have been 1970 or
1971 - and the main (if not only) band were Dark, then featuring
Steve Giles, who founded the band, on vocals and guitar, and Charlie
Hiams on drums. Both Steve and Charlie were in my year at
school and Steve still lives in the town. At the time his
father ran the photographers in Wellingborough Road. The
band's claim to fame is that their first record, released in 1972,
is one of the most valuable records - the 2005 edition of Record
Collector places it at 30th equal with a value of £1,800 for one of
the first dozen. There have been a number of articles in the
national press about Dark over the last few years because of the
value of the record. |
