Blondie gig at Charlton?

Saga Lout

I just happened to find the NME from 20/05/1978. It never happened. Has there been a gig between The Who in the 70s and Elton John in the 2000s?

Not that I'm aware...

PS My name will be in the staff box of that issue!

Blondie has been touring for at least 2 years as a bit part of Brian Wilson's shows.

I’ve seen some people resuscitate old threads on here, but a 40 year old copy of the NME?

now, if it had been a train timetable, or trainspotters guide, then we would be cooking.

In my defence, I was sorting them out to give to a guy who is opening a new music venue.

I wanted see Diana Ross at the Valley. She could strike a mean football.

Did The Who play at The Valley then?

Don’t forget ‘The Real Thing’ who performed before a game during our Premier League era.

Gotta say that is a brilliant find.

I found another old magazine and, to my amazement, they did! How is that I have never heard about that before? Despite the fact that I was at the 2nd of their 2 gigs.

Probably drugs related?
