Dances at Ewyas Harold rarely reached the normal finishing time as they'd usually been stopped by 11.30/11.45 due to a fight. A mention for "Taste" featuring Rory Gallagher at MWG? I remember seeing him at MWG but can't recall it in the 'Taste' format. As for Rory, can't say I enjoyed the gig. All songs ended with guitar solos that seemed to go on for ever. A big contrast to the punchy 3 minute singles that I was listening to at that time. |

I once saw Charlton Heston at the Malvern Winter Gardens. He was better than Wayne Rooney too.

Great nostalgia on this thread, from Jimmy Greaves to Malvern Winter Gardens, via Buzz Music and the Friday slugfests with the Aber boys at Wormelow (also used to meet up at a neutral venue, Ewyas Harold village hall, but I can't remember the name of the pub in Aber that the away rucks were played at)
Used to spend some time in Buzz talking to a friend, who really knew his music and was a good guitarist. After I had left Hereford, I was watching Top of the Pops one evening and there he was playing with one of the bands. RIP Jim Scott
Malvern was a great venue, easy to get to from Hereford, but might take anything up to 12-18 hours to get back if your hitchhiking thumb was tired. Bands I saw there included
Keef Hartley Band, Derek & The Dominoes, Stackridge, Atomic Rooster
Mott, just after their first single, I believe. Strange gig, this relatively new band had loads of guest appearances by top musicians. Jim Capaldi is the only name that I can remember
Hawkwind (had a huge great synthesiser that took up half the stage)
Skid Row (sorry oldmeadowender, didn't see Thin Lizzy there, but Phil Lynott had been in this band, and it had a teenage Gary Moore playing in it)
Hawkwind is a sore point. My brother was allowed to go but I wasn't because I was too young. You know how to open old wounds, don't you eggchaser. |

Did anyone see The Beat? I loved their stuff but think they had a big skinhead following and their gigs usually ended in fights? (Could be wrong, I never got to see them, sadly).

I did see the Beat, but not in Malvern. Bristol Poly I think.
But the reference reminded me that I did see Bad Manners at MWG.

I saw Bad Manners at York Uni. Buster arrived about lunchtime and just hung out with the students in our college for hours before the gig. Brilliant bloke. And hilarious on stage.

Is my memory playing tricks or did Dr Feelgood used to play little pubs in Worcester in the 1970s?

I think James Honeyman-Scott is resting in peace in Lyde churchyard? I've got a Silver Machiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

Whoops, sorry.
