Reading the "Lemmy" thread brought back many memories of the place so thought I'd check it out and found this:

My 1st gig was Jimi Hendrix on 5/12/67 for the princely sum of 15/-, or 75p for the youngsters on here.
Some good reading on there.
Any gigs you guys were at?

We played Ace of Spades at our wedding disco in Carrickfergus, and folk still talk about it.
I was a rocker I'll n the 80's, and hippy too as I liked hendrix, zep floyd etc along with the likes of motorhead and sabbath.
Love you like a reptile, We are the roadcrew, and Ace of Spades will be rock classics, lol

One regret I have is missing out on seeing Rory and the SAHB.

Rory was a terrific live performer. I saw him a few times.
Only time I saw SAHB was at Parkhead! (Supporting The Who.) SAHB weren't really to my taste, to be honest.
My best mate was (and is) a prog/rock fan so bands I saw with him at the Apollo included Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash, Uriah Heep. The shame!

Evening Ath and any Zep fans.
If you missed it, BBC Radio 2 at 6pm featured Led Zeppelin, chatting about the classic songs, times at Hedley Grange formulating Stairway To Heaven, death of drummer boy John B in 1980, when I remember a guy at High School crying and having to go home.
Great tracks such as When the Levvy Breaks too, so give it a listen and chill.
