1967

“That's a fantastic photo.”

“It was November 1967 and the venue was to become part of the Polytechnic, now the Met. The gig was a benefit for CND”

“Wow! I was eight. I wonder what they're playing?”

“colour film then? unheard of”

“How come there's no entry for Spiderjive? Or was it Spyderjive?”

“Spider looks like a young Jagger!”

“Spider Mike King is on the web! Sorry, couldn't resist. He's in the Archive. Doesn't look like a young Mick Jagger now. We're probably playing Key To Love or Positively 4th St
CP”

“Great shot CP! If this is now one of the MMU rooms - which one is it? I'm assuming it is in the Grosvenor Building? In which case, are you playing in what is now called the Holden gallery here?”

“Nice paintjob on the Squier.”

“After the town hall it became the art college and we played in the big room on the left which became the refectory - don't know what it is now!”

“Ah - right! Thanks CP. The refectory became the studio for the Art Foundation Course. They recently moved location and that space is now a general cross-course studio space - for set up, outsize studio work and ar events / meetings etc.”

“I've just recently found a Jacko Ogg poster for the Magic Village. (with Tyrannosaurus Rex) - I think it's late 1967. does anyone know any differently ? after the Jacko Ogg billing it says Sat only so Tyrannosaurus Rex would have been on the Friday or Sunday or both ?”
