streetwalkers played the palace theatre, manchester, England, sunday 13th February 1977 with support act the foster brothers.
They certainly did play The Palace Theatre Manchester in 1977.
Many thanks for confirming this Frank.
I saw Streetwalkers open up for Dr Feelgood at 4 Corners Inn / Jacksonville MD. Must have been 1975/76. I can locate any info on this date, but I swear it happened. I was working at a great indie record store at the time and we loved them.
That seems to be a very obscure gig! Although it would probably have to be from May 1976 as that’s when both bands would have been in the US.
Yes, I saw Streetwalkers in Manchester in 1977 (and Swansea in 1976, where, amazingly, the sun poked its head through the clouds for the first time of the day during “My Friend the Sun” – it was an outdoor gig supporting The Who).
I can’t confirm the date, but I was in the audience as well.
Just like to add that I saw Streetwalker supported by Dirty
Tricks at the Liverpool Empire, summer 76. Great gig by both bands. Finally figured out how to play A shape barre chords by watching John Fraser Binnie play his cherry red SG up front in the Orchestra Pit (me in the pit, not him ha)
Hi. Can anyone please get a message to Roger please. It’s due to the passing of a old from from Aberdeen. Been many many years since I’ve seen any off you. Just please if anyone can get a message to Roger. Thank you for. Reading….my email and numbers are with Richard at Cherry Red.
Hi Chaps,
I seem to remember Streetwalkers playing The Opera House in Manchester sometime in 1977,
can anyone confirm the date for this ?
I remember Roger commenting on the venue and saying something like ” ITS LIKE PLAYING
ON A FUCKING CHRISTMAS CAKE” or something similar LOL. Thanks.
I am currently pouring over my diaries for a Live at Leeds Poly project. I wrote on Tuesday 30th September 1975 I saw Streetwalkers, supported by Moon, playing at the Leeds Poly Freshers Ball.
I was at the My Father’s Place, Roslyn, Long Island, New York, May 8, 1976, show. Streetwalkers was an opening act, for Brian Auger.
“Me ‘n’, Me Horse, ‘n’ Me Rum” does not play.
