SHOWADDYWADDY - CAIRD HALL - 1977
I didn't even realise Showaddywaddy were still on the go in 1977, but here's an ad for a gig they did at the Caird Hall on 2nd December that year.
I've absolutely no idea who Tickle was!
Thanks to Yvonne
the 'Wad are probably still on the go today Ive seen them at the caird hall twice I think Mr Big was the second gig support or was that with Queen? 'real' Teds hate them but I thought they were a great laugh and good to jump around to.
Still remember several friends and myself helping their roadies in with the gear and meeting the band during their sound check really great bunch of guys. Not sure if it was 1977 might have been another gig they did in 1978 or 1979. The band went onto have minor hits into the 80's and as a few have said still tour today

ReplyDeleteThe Bear is correct - they are still on the go. They played the Whitehall Theatre earlier this year.
ReplyDeletetook my wee cousins there for their first gig. Showaddywaddy were brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI remember getting their albums for 1977 and 1978 in my chritsmas stockings
ReplyDeleteAl informed me he roadied for them that gig & purloined a pair of brothel creepers from one of their hampers,(quite right) was it a dream?
