Interesting stuff. Did this concert ever take place? It seems very late, 1965, for Cilla Black to be playing venues like Wigan. And the inclusion of a shared bill with the Everlys surprises me. Did Phil and Don ever play Wigan? Just to add that the Everlys last major hit in Britain, 'The Price Of Love' came out in that actual summer. The inclusion of Billy J. Kramer and Co only deepens the doubt...
Yes, they definately did appear at the ABC as it was officially known on the tour circuit, they 'did' 18 October venues on their 1965 tour with the artistes mentioned on the flyer, the last one being in Wigan.
Shame it was demolished when built held 2560 good venue
I was there!
I was there too. Do I remember correctly, Billy J/ Kramer performed with his leg/ankle in plaster. I definitely remember that the Everly Bros were absolutely brilliant, even though past the height of their popularity. I think 'Love is Strange' was a hit for them at this time.
My Dad took me to this. I was 6 years old. I complained to him about the screaming girls, and wondered why they didn't just sit down and listen to the music.
