And then he walked along the edge of the Circle

This is the place where we will post your stories about the Green's Playhouse, The Glasgow Apollo and Satelitte City (The Wee Apollo). As it develops we will break the stories up into sections such as Myths, Gigs I missed, Meeting the Bands, Where are they now etc. No story too trivial and we will only edit out bad language!

New Forum structure on Apollomemories soon.

Comments on Diamond Head [reply]
 
It was 30th Oct '82 by the backstage door waiting for the band to perhaps get some autographs.It was pishing rain and we were under the alcove by the door drinking our carry oot freezing to death.The band shows up and not only signs autographs for us but cos of the conditions invites us inside and let us sit up in the box seats off the stage while they performed their soundcheck.
Here we are in the box seats drinking and watching Brian Tatler playing "Am I Evil" riffs and asking us how it sounded - they were a cool bunch of guys who knew that they were just like us a couple of years back and I'll always remember them for that.

I'm sure they played The Penthouse(cant remember who supported them) and they were excellent. Can't remember who they supported at the Apollo but have a feeling i did see them there. Great band. [reply]
 
Yeah i was at the penthouse gig too, what i remember most was that the band had a new bassist i think he was called merv goldsworthy??? he wore a green boiler suit and played the bass like he was in haircut 100, excellent gig with only about 200 in the place the band played a set list made up of requests from the crowd. was this was one of their last gigs before splitting up?
