Saw the DTs at the Wolfe I'm sure ? Another cracking band. Back then I often drank too much and ended up with the DTs on a few occasions !
Saw the DTs at the Wolfe I'm sure ? Another cracking band. Back then I often drank too much and ended up with the DTs on a few occasions !Oh yes. Also saw Feelgood there post-Wilko, with Steve Walwyn on lead. Southam lad, still touring with the DTs, and a couple more bands including with Horace Panter.
Also saw Johnny Mars there (Mars, not Marr). Excellent American blues harpist.
A few others too. Good little venue in its day.
They were. Still are. And yes, played the Wolfe regularly.Saw the DTs at the Wolfe I'm sure ? Another cracking band. Back then I often drank too much and ended up with the DTs on a few occasions !
Gotta say that sounded unlikely to me, but, Robert Edgar Broughton, he say yes! Lol.Ask him if he ever played Berkswell British Legion?
Edit:- pretty sure they did Early 70's as dad was secretary and sure they had cope with a bit of trouble that night.
True I think.U2 and Marillion both have done gigs at the General Wolfe. True or false ?
Yes both have appeared there. And Robert Plant, and the Eurythmics. And they closed it down !True I think.
U2 certainly, but Marillion smells Fishy...U2 and Marillion both have done gigs at the General Wolfe. True or false ?
April 1982. Marillion did a gig there and I checked it out to make sure, and it is true.U2 certainly, but Marillion smells Fishy...
Ah. Just remembered, I think the support was Galliard.Just asked Edgar, and he confirms that - no, they never played there with Sabbath, although of course they did play there several times.

Grendel got it...April 1982. Marillion did a gig there and I checked it out to make sure, and it is true.
1962 ?The Beatles played at the Matrix on Fletchamstead Highway.
Pete Trewavas debut for Marillion was at the Wolfe it says.Grendel got it...
Yeah, I know. Hell of a history that place. I even used to get my teeth butchered just across the road in Station St East as a kid.Just googled it again It says Marillion at the General Wolfe Saliva Tears Tour 1982. Gives there set list.
That was Syd, surely?Currently have Roger Waters - "Is This The Life We Really Want?" blasting loudly through my cans. He was Mr Pink Floyd!
Doesn't count. They were The Larvae back then.1962 ?
I was surprised to see that Marillion played the Wolfe, never knew that. Attracted all acts so must have had a good reputation.Yeah, I know. Hell of a history that place. I even used to get my teeth butchered just across the road in Station St East as a kid.
Such wonderful memories. LOL.
Jon Anderson and Yes Lol.They were. Still are. And yes, played the Wolfe regularly.
You need to check out the Dirt Road Blues Band too (Steve on lead & vocals, and Horace Panter on bass.
Also, the Della Grants.
Both fine bands.
Just had another look at who appeared at the Wolfe. And what about this for a line up.Yeah, I know. Hell of a history that place. I even used to get my teeth butchered just across the road in Station St East as a kid.
Such wonderful memories. LOL.
Great pics. Had some great nights in the Wolfe, left dazed and confused often !And with Bo at the Wolfe (I'll stop now as we've gone way off topic).

Not my pics - all stolen from a friend who promoted Feelgood for years, and then the DTs and other bands.Great pics. Had some great nights in the Wolfe, left dazed and confused often !
That was Syd, surely?
(Some would say).
Each to their own. My personal choice is Roger Waters. You think he's a wanker. That's okay. If we all liked the same thing it would be a boring old world, eh?I think Waters is a Grade A wanker. This is the song that Syd wrote about the betrayal:
I just gave this a listen. 1/10 - bloody awful!I think Waters is a Grade A wanker. This is the song that Syd wrote about the betrayal:
