The Rolling Stones Sheffield 1964.jpg

Just found this. An old poster for when The Rolling Stones came to Sheffield City Hall in 1964

Looking down it absolutely amazed to see that The Barron Knights were amongst the support bands?

Surely not?

Did anyone go to this concert?

The Barron Knights started well before 1964. By the time that poster came out they would have had the record Call Up The Groups out.

What's more amazing is the Overlanders. This is well before their 1966 number one Michelle. Though the band had nine records out before that became their first hit. They started releasing singles in July of 63.

David John And The Moon - To Catch That Man, their first single, had been released in June 1964. It had Mick Jagger on the maracas apparently, which ties in with why they would be on. They released another two singles none of them hits and vanished.
