Andre Palfrey-Martin Collection
Andre Martin….Somebody asked about The Yardbirds/Zoot Money on the Pier – well as area as chickens teeth here is an advertisement from Hastings Observer July 1966 – which might give some information
Here they are in the film ‘Blow Up’
Jim Breeds…..Marvellous stuff! Though with the exception of one couple the audience has less movement in it than the terracotta army! At least until the guitar neck got thrown. I assume that Pete Townsend must have watched this, lol.
Andre Martin… Also they play on October 6, 1965 at The Witch Doctor, Hastings. This date does not appear in any listings of WD acts, but I can recall such.
Yvonne Cleland… The YARDBIRDS?!!!
Alan Esdaile… Would have loved to have seen The Yardbirds. Who remembers seeing the film Blow Up?
Yvonne Cleland… I remember seeing it, but a lot later than when it first came out!
Colin Norton… I remember seeing the Yardbirds with Eric on board in November, 1964. They were supporting Jerry Lee Lewis in Brighton. Great show!
Ricky Long… Thanks Alan & Andre,I played on some of the Tony Strudwick Band gigs but can’t
remember which ones.
Colin Norton… I remember seeing the Yardbirds with Eric on board in November, 1964. They were supporting Jerry Lee Lewis in Brighton. Great show!
Will Cornell… Blow Up had Jane Birkin too, but I forget which one of the girls the photographer romps with she was. That was a unneeded, gratuitous, stupid scene they could have cut out…but the Yardbirds gig and his study of the body in the photo, way cool.
Mick O’Dowd… I definately can confirm that they played the Witchdoctor as I won 2 tickets from our old friend Steve Maxted so he can confirm it as well
Jan Colley… Managed to get their autographs
Thanks Andre. Didn’t realise the Yardbirds appeared on the Pier. Thought it was only at the Witchdoctor that’s when I saw them.
