[Pop concerts at the Odeon cinema.]

Yes they did appear there, not sure if it was 1963 but I remember it was bitterly cold! We couldn't get tickets so like idiots we hung around outside. There were hundreds of people at the back of the Odeon. I can remember striking matches to feep my hands warm! Whilst I'm on....went to see The Graham Bond organisation at the boat club. They were incredible and had Ginger Baker on drums at the time. Poor old Graham commited suicide some years later. He threw himself under a tube train. Towards the end I think he suffered from delusions, at one point he declared himself to be the grand wizard of all England!

Cheers Johnl.
