I know it was 50 years ago ... but did anyone here (or their parents) go to see the 1962 tour package 'The Rock 'n' Twist - USA'
It starred Johnny Burnette, Gary U.S. Bonds and Gene McDaniels.
The tour began on April 21st with a show at St. Andrews Hall, Glasgow.
It then did 6 / 7 different venues each week through to the final show on May 13th when the tour closed at the Walthamstow Granada (cinema) in London.
Along the way it had taken in towns such as Mansfield (the Granada Cinema, Saturday May 5th) ....
So that meant Gene did around 20 UK shows that year ..... and yet I can't recall much ever being written about any of them.
He was 'hot' at the time (back in the US & Canada) for tunes like "100 Pounds of Clay" & "Tower of Stregth" (he would have "Point of No Return" released after his return to the US).
