Max Power Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 10cc played their very first live gig at the Lido, and then came back on its first anniversary. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jampton Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 A folk singer named Peter Jagger (no relation) played several pubs in the early 90s . I saw him in The Tynwald and thought he we quite good. I bought the CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Just found this. It was a great gig. Mosh pit on the go, if you were standing by you were dragged in anyway. Charlie Harper chatting away in the bar after the gig. He was 61 then and seemed little different from when I saw the band as a student in the early 80s. Brilliant stuff. Nice one Earle. Apart from this one, I think I missed out on the Trafalgar. Edited June 29, 2018 by gettafa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that being on, the fella who managed Twisted Angels brought them over. Didnt have a very good turn out as he was on the Manxbands website berating all and sundry for not showing up. Came across as a bit of a cock to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 They were here twice I believe, and the band loved fishing out in a boat the next day. The turn out was ok as I remember but these things become blurred. The 'mosh-pit' (imagine I said that like a judge referring to 'a Beatle;) was brilliant though. The next time I came across such an invent was at Jaks when the CroTcH LiCe local punk band brought another punk band over to play in Jaks. The band played about a minute before the manager pulled the plug. He shit himself at all the energy and people apparently 'fighting' on the dance floor. Ah well, back to singalong poppy bands.

I remember that happening but was too young to have gone, or have been interested in going. Wasn't it some kind of scam or something? Pretty sure I got told that Meatloaf didn't get paid and someone ran off with all the money. Here's a newspaper clip from back then: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillside Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 I’m doing some research into bands that played at the Lido in the 1970s. I saw a few myself including 10cc, Atomic Rooster, Procul Harum etc. There is a lot of good information in earlier posts that I can dig into, but if anyone has memories of dates etc. that would be great help. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Ask Andy Wint of Manx Radio. When he first popped up on the Isle of Man he asked long and loud for people's memories of bands playing on the Island as he was going to 'write a book' (aren't we all). He got all the info he needed to establish himself as Mr Bands Isle of Man (or so he thought) and never, as far as I know, wrote the book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
