Your first concert was to see who and when?


I'll kick off with Pink Floyd at The Bay Hotel, Sunderland in February 1969.

1812 Overture & a Tchaikovsky Symphony at the Royal Albert Hall. I do not remember which orchestra was playing.  It was 1958 or '59. The cannon's echo may still be running round in the Gods!

I was in the local C of E youth club for about 5 years and a few times a year we would go to London, usually the Albert Hall or RFH.  In addition to "classical" concerts (baroque through romantic & 20th century periods) I remember Acker Bilk's Paramount Jazz Band and Monty Sunshine's "Trad Jazz".  We also went to the MJQ at the RFH in (I think) 1961.
