Zanzibar were another band that had a residency at The Regent for a while as well.
I'd better shut up about the Regent, this is an Act site after all. I saw a few bands at The Albion in Clayton (he said, tactfully diverting the conversation) in the early - mid 70's too, but can't really recall any names.

Hendy (Henderson) Gibson was a hell of a performer, I first saw him when he fronted a band called Dinglegrumph, they were resident on Friday nights at The Spinning Jenny in the early 70s, did a great rendition of Sweet Child in Time, complete with finger stuck firmly in his right ear
