Detroit Debbie's Concert Archive

Going to concerts is my biggest hobby, I love live music. I saved all my stubs and kept a concert journal. I have met many bands/musicians along the way.

Detroit Debbie has 9 The Babys concerts.

The Babys, a British pop rock band, chose their name to give them a greater chance of a recording contract as they felt the record labels were leaning more towards the teen market. They released their eponymous first album in 1976 and followed it up with 'Broken Heart' the next year. The group's songs were melodic, sensitive, and far from the shallow teen pop market that the Babys ended up boxed into (albeit something that they had partly done themselves).
