GedKen,great stuff thanks for all the work a real labour of love eh?
and Rachel..now I'm not one for picking an argument with Mr Harley but I'd say "It was The Bilston Choir who first started we got the Feeling Unprompted?" I remember the crowd just took the song over in the middle much to the bands and Steve's delight,and the rest as they say is history!! and Before the bigger crowd clinched it at Glastonbury!!
Good to see Bilson back for November,there's good gigs,there's great gigs and then there's Bilston!!

Great work.!!!
It is an easier format (for me and perhaps many others) to see all this musical history logged this way. Thank you.
It s quick to dip in and out and relate it to time and space of other committments . However also to REALIZE what I have missed over the years.

GedKen. Amazing work. You must have plenty of time on your hands or else be a complete Harley nut

Either way, when you've finished compiling the figures perhaps you'd like to give an estimation of how many individuals of the One Million Plus figure were in the audience on more than one occasion

Yes, if my memory serves me correctly I agree with Stewart

Happy days!

This is a most interesting thread.
Let's hope the webmaster can give it its own space.
Wish I'd seen very early Rebel, but caught on late in the 70s, although I did acquire most of the back catalogue. Steve should be heard much more often on UK Radio, especially tracks other than the immortal MMS...love it though we do!

Hi Rachel, thaks for the info. I'II pass the spreadsheet onto Andy, it would be great to have someone more informed to give it the once over. I was a bit low on some of the figures (particularly some of the festival ones) - but it's great to be working off a baseline of 1m+.

Erm, on the '74 tour I believe there was a fire when Cockney Rebel played at Liverpool Stadium. Has anyone got any details on that event?

Step Up still out there, the local authority have thankfully come through with a further three core years funding (at a much reduced level - so we'll have to run to stand still). I've got my eye on some ideal vacant counseling rooms just two doors down from where we are based. That would be a godsend.

The money raised from the auction of Steve's Bowler directly funded 26 hours of much needed face-to-face counseling for some of the children and it also helped to reduce our waiting list for this service.

Thanks again to Steve and everybody involved else in the auction including John the winner of the prized Bowler; the funds did make a big difference to a number of young, vulnerable children.

Re Stewart's post - a labour of love and curiousity I'd say - and I wish I had witnessed the choir moment.

Re Stella's post - well yes, you are right, time on my hands..... and a little nutty perhaps!
