Poster
Free Trade Hall
21st March 1972

“Hi Bladesy, are you still on this site? If so, are you positive about the dates of this Bowie gig and poster? Was the poster produced for the initial gig or the rescheduled gig?
Cheers,
Craig Wilkinson”

“This flyer/handbill (not a poster) was not produced to promote Bowie’s gig at the Free Trade Hall in March or April of 1972.

Rather, this was a cancelled gig, scheduled for 2 September 1972. Advertising listings, as well as subsequent cancellation notices, were published in the Manchester Evening News during the weeks preceding the announced gig.

The cancelled Free Trade Hall gig was quickly replaced by two shows at the brand-new, larger Hardrock in Stretford, on 2 and 3 September 1972.”
