It may be very rare but I can't see much artistic merit!      Grin

It would have been during my time, but I don't remember ever playing in Wales? and certainly don't remember a gig in a Parish Hall..

Maybe Simon remembers more.. Huh

A quick google reveals that Feb 3 was indeed a Saturday in 1968....

'Tis very nice indeed.  My prediction is that I can't afford it  Grin

I can't see where it says the gig was in Wales even though the poster was found there.

Pretty good bet that the organisers wouldn't have gone too far to find a printers back then, and it was certainly printed in Wales, even if not that far over the border...

There was a pre-Mott the Hoople group (Ralphs, Allen & Griffin) from Hereford called Shakedown Sound (also featured Jess Roden at one earlier point) who were gigging at this time...some of their gigs seemed to be billed as Shakedown Sounds.  They might be the support?

Ring any bells?  No?  It was worth a try...  Smiley

A few months ago, someone got  in touch to ask me what I remembered of the gig and as my diaries don't go back that far was not able to help. There just aren't enough clues. Sorry!

My gut feeling, based on no memory of this  - or indeed any Mid Wales gigs - from Jude or Iain, and nothing more to add above by Simon, that this isn't right. There is no mention of the venue, doors, entrance fee. I know these late 60's art posters often had little information, but nearly all had more than this offers.

I think this is a 'gig poster style' piece of work by an art student. Just my haunch like :-)

The gig geography thing is interesting in that 'if this were' genuine, the promoter/venue would have used a local printer, meaning the show would have been Mid Wales, Barmouth, Newtown etc, and I suspect 3 band members down, somebody would have remembered.

And this is not me trying to pinch it on the cheap either! Wink

Iain has sent a question to the seller saying he remembers this gig and wants the poster for his archives, so I guess it's genuine enough.

..... and as my diaries ......  


Gulp!  Shocked

A contemporaneous record that may, one day, be up there with the likes of Diaries by Pepys, Tony Benn, Allan Clarke, Katie Price and Lord Peter Mandelson?  

I'd give my one good leg for that autobiography.

Hi Andy, Iain doesn't remember the show, but it is true to say that he is interested in the poster for archives, its a curio for sure :-)

And on the subject, well posters, there is about to be an original 'castle' poster offered for sale, from a very good source, and also 2 acetates of an unreleased FC single...More of which, very soon when they reach me via the post!

Wow, the "castle" poster, I'd love one of those...maybe there's a market for good replica prints, Jonny ?
