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.

| Saw BOA in the seventies with Ted Nugent. they were pretty good and they had a
female singer with them that night ( I think her name was Starr) she drank from a
wench's jug and I remember standing right under the stage as she sprayed us below
with the "liquid"

| I saw them support Sabbath in '74. They were dying the death, as most support acts
did, when the drummer suddenly started kicking drum kit all over the stage. It was a
clever move as it certainly got the punters on there side. The only song I remember
them doing was 'Go Jim Dandy'. They were not a bad wee outfit. Sabbath were better
though.

| I too was at that show, I actually got a piece of Jim Dandy to the rescues wash board
when he smashes it up, I was well chuffed ! Still have it with all my other
memorabilia. A Buddie of mine Reg Vernal used to roadie there circa 1976-1980 he has
so much memorabilia from hundreds of shows, autographs you would die for drum sticks
akimbo. Apollo R.I.P
