Another mystery photo

Postby drakula63 » 17 Feb 2014, 17:07

Can anyone shed any light on where and when this pic was taken? I scanned it in from Tony Hoffman's John Farrar magazine, which is the only place I've seen it. My guess is that it was taken somewhere between late 1973 and early 1975.

It is a rehearsal shot from The Palladium in '74 for the Colin Charman Benefit Concert.

I don't believe it was televised. There were only a few TV channels in those days!

That's not a revelation, George.

The pickups and electronics were changed in at least two separate phases, maybe three...

That's the 1978 reunion concert.

The photo is from 1974.

It was the concert that led directly to the offer to do Eurovision.
