Wanted

1. Specific Information & or Images Wanted: (roughly in date order)

    Do you have any images of the frontage of Night Magic?  Mail them to me please!

    Biography information about any of the bands that don't yet have a Biogz page entry

    Can you recall appearances by Wee Willie Harris or Kenny Lynch?

    Were The Vibrators ever booked but failed to appear after an internal dispute (perhaps mid 78)?

    Can you recall an appearance by Roger Whittaker probably sometime in the late sixties?

    What on earth were Lord Caesar Sutch & The Roman Empire like on stage in 1966?

    Can you tell me anything about 'The Candy Bar'?

    I'm particularly interested in ticket stubs / photographs & memories of Cream's gig on Sunday 9th July 1967 and David Bowie on Sunday 9th November 1969. Could you send me a scan of yours?

    Is there any truth to the story that an additional electric power source was required for one of The Who's performances?

    I have it on good authority that the Slaughter & The Dogs / Drones gig on 10/09/77 was cancelled (possibly by a worried Council). Can you corroborate this and / or add anything to the story?

    Can you remember when/if 'Morgan McVey' played the ballroom? It would have been 1986 or 1987. They had an unsuccessful single called 'Looking Good Diving'.

    Who were the artistes at the fifth and sixth recordings of The Hit Man & Her (presented by Pete Waterman & Michaela Strachan) recorded in Hollywood Boulevard on Saturday & Sunday 4th & 5th August 1990? The recordings would probably be broadcast one week later.

2. General Information Wanted:

    Additions: Such as who were the three bands that played on New Year's Day 1967?

    Alterations: Such as "They couldn't play that night, so The Other Band played twice instead".

    Deletions: Such as "the band didn't turn up to play the ballroom that night because their van broke down".

    Memories: Of any sort from 1938 to date whether they relate to a specific band or date or not, as long as there's a ballroom connection of some sort.

    Notifications: Such as "The link to Nazareth's biog isn't working"

    Images: Of anything ballroom related.

    Opinions: Such as "Congratulations, what a fantastic site, you've changed my life!" etc.

    Suggestions: As to how the site could be better (obviously I'm not serious!).

    Anything ballroom related really.

All constructive input gratefully received. (Credit will of course be given for anything used).
