Bands A - F
With so many acts having appeared during 1973 - 1975 period, I have not been able to recall each and every one of them, only about 90. So, I have split those that I do remember over 3 separate web pages. Those with an asterisk (*) are mentioned in S**T. Those with two (**) in the 3S's. A few are mentioned in both. If any one act represented the spirit of City, then it was Shakin Steven's & the Sunsets. We booked them pretty well every term; always an absolute sell out. The last time they played at City was Autumn 1975 as the support act to Bill Haley & the Comets. What a concert that was.
I'm told that I should start my list with AC/DC but for the life of me I can't remember putting them on (must have drunk too much Fosters that night!)
