The Original 59er Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Thanks for the additions, obviously I know the names, but didn't realise their link.......... Well Mill Street is pretty obvious and an omission I made to an extent as it is the building rather than the material, but I agree, still relevant.

The Original 59er Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 It is a pity I was a wee bit on the young side when this happened, but it has a pretty good line up for 16/6d in the mid 60's. That is just over £11.00 in value now, and when you think that any concert now charges £40 up to £100+ it puts it into perspective! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to gigs in the ice rink... never a great vibe. Cool (obviously) but a bit distant. the one stand out one was The Merseybeats. Brilliant. fun. Utterly memorable..

Wikipedia tells me this: In 1963, Roy Daniels (vocals), Richard Taylor (lead guitar), Alan Elkins (2nd lead guitar), Roger Charles (bass) and Brian Allen (drums) formed the group "Emeralds" which was renamed to "Wishful Thinking" from 1965 onwards. That suggests that the concert was around 1963, or 64! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That belonged to the Coats family it was later turned into a hospital, it sat in the area we called the Privies (private land) the wooded area behind St Fergus Chapel... I used too play in that building when it lay derelict as a young lad.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antrin Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Wow! THIS has taken me down a time-tunnel... The Merseybeats gig was the first in a few ice-rink shows, as seen here. ALL the support bands were locals that we’d see in Toon Hall, Templar’s, Church Halls “topping” the bill on a Saturday. In fact, they’d be playing all night... http://www.45worlds.com/live/venue/paisley-ice-rink since then I’d always thought that The Mavericks were spelled Mavericks, and I’ve been wrong all these years. Mavericks, apparently... which was confirmed by this following site which has amazing pictures of local bands and some quite famous, but playing locally as they grew up... some of you might even spot yer Maw at the Templars... http://www.45worlds.com/live/venue/paisley-ice-rink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antrin Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) Then there’s this demo record. Benjamin Day. Recorded 1966. I’d not even heard of this record. (I’ve just seen an old PDE report suggesting JohnByrne also had a hand in writing this - but the label gives him no credit... http://www.redstone-tech.com/gerry_bsb/paisley/jun24.htm see para “vocal fusion”) Egan and Rafferty both played in the Mavericks. I only learnt that, this afternoon. Wow. best organised, (almost professional) local band. Stuck to wearing suits and looking smart for an awfy long time...

rabuddies Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Don't want to be picky but the building in the picture is not the original Sheriff Court. That was the main building built for Renfrewshire County Council in 1890 when County Councils were established and remained their property until 1975 when it was taken over by the Court. The previous seat of the County Council was the building on County Square, later the Burgh Cooncil offices. The Sheriff Court was immediately to the left of the building in your picture.
