Gigs And Memories

The second “Vibe For Philo” that I attended in Dublin, January 1998.

Back in the early 1970’s, before we had a leisure centre in Guernsey that put on current rock and pop acts, we had the quaintly named Little Theatre, which is exactly what it was. But it did bring us some acts that had noteable hits, like Edison Lighthouse’s “Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes), Christie’s “Yellow River”, Love Affair’s “Everlasting Love” and Pretty Things “Don’t Bring Me Down”

In December 1981, a local promoter bought the Exploited to a small venue in Guernsey for a memorable gig.
