THE YARDBIRDS Granada Theatre (Incredibly rare original 1964 UK
11.5" x 6" single-sided concert handbill for the one night only concert
held at the Granada Theatre in East Ham, Newham, London on the
11th of October that year. The dream line-up also starredThe Kinks,
or The 'Dynamic' Kinks as they were billed, with their smash hit 'You
Really Got Me' still in the charts, Billy J. Kramer & The Dakotas as
presented by Brian Epstein, The Fabulous Ronettes all the way from
the U.S.A., BillBlack'sCombojust off the bus from The Beatles
American tour, & the mighty Cliff Bennett & The Rebel Rousers. The
Yardbirds line-up that night was... Eric Clapton – Lead Guitar, Keith
Relf – Vocals / Harmonica, Chris Dreja – Rhythm Guitar, Paul
Samwell-Smith – Bass & Jim McCarty – Drums. As you might agree,
this was a dream package tour! Obtained from its one previous owner
& original concert attendee, the handbill's main image is taken from
the original programme cover & has the same vibrant two tone hues.
The booking slip is intact at the bottom for the first or second house,
number of seats & stall or circle preference, which remains unticked.
As you can appreciate, this authentic handbill is very delicate & has
two vertical fold marks visible on the back, with some creasing around
the top & bottom edges. This is a very special piece for the sixties
collector, ideal for framing & one you will be hard pushed to find
anywhere else...)
