I was talking to a bloke at one of the gigs I went to last week. We chatted mostly about jazz, but got into gigs generally.

He said that the first gig he went to was the Beatles, with the Yardbirds as support (and Hughie Green as the MC) at the Hammersmith Odeon.

His father took him; he was nine.

A quick search pulls up a Christmas show in 1964.

What a start to a gig-going career! Sixty one years of music.

This is number 2 of 4 of my latest music collection. A red candy apple Fender Stratocaster hand-stitched onto white aida fabric.
