Sources and notes: * October 2 date noted in the book Starpalast und Skinny Minny by Klaus Hartel, reported by Jens Pruess. An article in "Higher and Higher" #44, Fall 2001, p.24-26 states that this booking ran for a month. I have therefore assumed that the October 2 date was the opener. ** Show date and venue reported in "Higher and Higher" #44, Fall 2001, p.24-26. Although the band ended up not playing the show, it was nonetheless favorably reviewed in "New Musical Express". *** The John Bull Breed supported The Rolling Stones shortly after the release of "Not Fade Away" Updated November 9, 2006 |

Sources and notes: Single releases noted in first "discography issue" of "Higher and Higher" #4, Winter/Spring 1985, p. 10. Release of "Since You've Gone" also noted in "Record Mirror" of April 10, 1965, reported by Val Weston. * Show dates and venue from ads in the "Yarmouth Mercury" of July 2 and 30, August 20 and 27, and September 3 and 10, 1965 reported by Steve Davis. "The Big Star Show 1965" was headlined by Lonnie Donegan, and the Marty Wilde Trio were billed as "Special Guest Stars". These shows took place in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, not to be confused with Yarmouth, which is on the Isle of Wight. On his website (www.justinhayward.com), Justin Hayward recalled these shows in his March 2006 letter, saying, "Top of the Bill at our show was Lonnie Donegan, who would close the show every night (Matinees Wednesday and Saturday), and I even stood in for his guitar player for a couple of days when he got ill. Like every other English kid of my age who played guitar, I knew most of Lonnie's songs anyway." ** "On 8 April, 1966, Justin played alongside Wilde in a televised charity show at the London Palladium and within a month jetted off on a Forces entertainment tour as part of the Marty Wilde trio - Wilde's wife, Joyce Baker, completing the line-up." noted at www.swindonweb.com/guid/peophayw0.htm, although they give the year as 1966 instead of 1965. Reported by Joyce Kelley.
