      Have you touched base with Keith Rylatt ? He featured the details of the Tour heavily in his book 'HITSVILLE - The Birth of Tamla Motown' .. and spoke to a lot of those who attended Andy

    My parents were at this tour in 1965 - I was lucky enough to have two sixties mods as my mum and dad - Glasgow Odeon - April Fools day - they went with some friends - to the performance - it was brilliant and full of energy but the theatre was dead ! My mum always remembers how young Stevie Wonder looked - only 14 at the time ! She always comments how I would of loved it !!!!

    Great clipping...mixed revues!

    I'd go along with the Georgie Fame comment...should not be on the same stage!

    As you say, it must have been great to see them live as the records were just being turned out.

    That's great! I'm working on a BBC2 documentary about this tour and I was wondering whether you or your parents might be interested in having a chat about it? Would love to hear their thoughts on the show! Let me know!

    Hey Andy,

    Yeah, we are speaking to Keith who is being really helpful. Just trying to find any additional people that may have been at one of the shows!
