Athy Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I rather think that there is an older thread which covered this ground. I'll start you off with The Original Drifters + Ronnie Jones & The Q Set, The Trends and Alan Bown (with lead singer Jess Roden) in, I think, 1967 - the first proper gig I ever went to. The "Original" Drifters weren't the ones who were currently making records; they were led by Bill Pinkney who had been a Drifter some years earlier. The show was a fund-raiser for the Mojo Club and I think Peter Stringfellow was compering. He was certainly there. There may have been one more act which I have forgotten.

Oldbloke Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 More like who hasn't. I saw Zep, Sabbath, Hawkwind, Motorhead and so many more I can't remember them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boginspro Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 12 hours ago, Athy said: I rather think that there is an older thread which covered this ground. I would just like to add one of my favourites, Buddy Holly played two shows on March 4, 1958. This subject was well covered on this thread, perhaps they could be merged. ------- https://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/6136-they-appeared-at-the-city-hall/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southside Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 My first visit to the City Hall was a trip with School to see the Halle Orchestra and thanks to dunsbyowl1867 i can date it to 1956, first pop concert was Cliff Richard and the Drifters. Went to nearly all the City Hall pop concerts with my mate's in the late 50s early Sixties, saw all the big names of the day! One act i remember seeing that's not on the list is Marianne Faithfull?
