Strange gig, with 3 x different genres of music all at one gig, and there were 3 x different types of punters in the audience, which made it an uneasy atmosphere as various youth cults would often fight each other. First on was blues style musician Lew Lewis Reformer, and so his more elderly plainly dressed fans moved up to the front of the stage to watch him. After it was the the turn of Mod band "The Chords". So then all the Parka wearing Mods moved up to the stage to see their band. Finally The Undertones took to the stage, and the majority Punk style fans pushed forward to the stage (while the Mods & Blues audiences retreated towards the back and sides of the venue). The Undertones were great live. Really tight band, and they played most of their tracks from their debut LP Family Entertainment. As well as Teenage Kicks and Get Over You. Great night, and a very memorable gig due to the strange make up of the audience, and how they all stood in separate groups in the Venue. Note. The Chords guitarist threw his guitar strap into the audience, which I caught and still have on my very old electric guitar...!!!
