They did a very long set, which included quite a few tracks off of Flaming Pie . There was a half-hour break before Gary Gibson took the stage. If the answer is no I strongly urge you to do so and the sooner the better. Gary is essentially John's body double. If you ever have the presence of mind to check out the audience during the first couple of songs you will see everyone transfixed on the man in the spotlight, usually with jaws dropped.
Girls shriek while guys shake their heads in disbelief.
Better still was an appearance by legendary Liverpool saxophonist Howie Kasey , former member of Wings and Derry and the Seniors . It was Howie who wrote to Allan Williams, pleading with him not to send that bum group, the Beatles to Hamburg. While Gary Gibson was hypnotising the audience at the State Ballroom, three other bands were starting up back at the Adelphi Night Club.
