Rachel,was it the Timeless Flight tour or Best Years tour that at The Glasgow Apollo the band played an afternoon show as well as an evening show ? Sure I remember that happened somewhere along the line?

There's something to check on the itinary please or maybe some of our Scottish correspondents could help Graham and Ray with this one?

I can confirm that Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel performed at 3pm on Sunday 6th April 1975 at the Glasgow Apollo during the Best Years tour. My first time

Ditto ! this is brilliant ! 74-76 was lucky enough to witness the 1st original band on tour and then the 2nd incarnation,with Jim, Duncun,& George so did the Halls and ballrooms ! ( is the cali on them lists ? california ballroom Dunstable ) march 75 I think ) ill check ! but anyway I went away and had babies ! in the 80's to 90's so hadn't a clue what was going on ! but towards the end of the 90's 97 and all through the 2000 years to date, I was on the road following the man so I guess I can contribute and recall
have a stack of ticket stubbs ( volumes ) and many memories

Graham did the post arrive ? only I haven't heard anything since november ? I sent the programe more or less straight away . Please tell me you've got it ! let me know it arrived safe . I'd hate to think you never received it .

ah ! now I've checked that list! I know I had only just turned 14 in 74 in the May but I went to see him twice that year in the same venue ! he came back to StAlbans Civic centre as a date was added , 31st of May is on the list ,and that was my birthday prezzy from mum & dad . I begged and pleaded to go. and I can only guess by looking at the list that the only possible date they could of come back on, on that tour would have been either the 19th june ? or 10th july ? or somewhere between July 23rd and August 25th dates ! unless one of the others were cancelled , but I definately saw Cockney Rebel twice in 74 both at the Civic Hall st Albans.they added an extra date.due to Mr soft being released shortly after Judyteen. I think judy was released in the febuary/March time
then Mr soft April /May time , pretty close together anyway and im sure Judy got to no 5 where as followed up behind by Mr soft ! that flew in , climbed to No.3 in the charts, some one will correct me if i'm wronge im sure

so due to the high demand to see them live st.Albans Civic had a second date added .
SO!to 75. April 12th I went to wembley empire pool and on June 7th crystal palace for the Garden Party. then up to the Californian ballroom in Dunstable.
I only ever saw Cockney Reble 5 times befor I had Babies and thats where I saw them. there must be a record of that extra date somewhere ?

Biba ! I cant see biba's on the list !

doh ! EDIT just found it

so ! the beckenham Arts Lab ( rat n parrot ) does that count ? as places he's performed or is it just the band ! touring ? because isn't that where it all began ? when Bowie moved of his friday night spot and went off with the spiders ? and what about Odin ? or Oden ? or what ever they where called , stella was it Katie who baby sat for them or you ? whilst steve played with them ?
