Hi James. A couple of weeks ago Trev mantioned finding an old Observer ad. for the Con, where it showed one of the numerous times that Scorchers/Gideons were on the same night as the Soundcasters, which I have enclosed, along with another where we played New Years with the Mindbenders. I agree with you in that the Con was a really good place to play, certainly one of my favourites. According to my 'book', we played there 19 times. The first was October 25th 1965 and the last was, as far as I can tell, 18th February 1967. Did Scorchers/Gideons never play Nelson Imp? When did Gideons pack in? Cheers Tony
