Not legends but we booked an unknown Liverpool band at Tudor Hall

bitd and in the top bar after the place was cleared about 3am I said to the lead singer "you're going to be massive mate" to which he replied "not with this honkey manager". Three weeks later Chris Amoo and the Real Thing were on Top of the Pops and the rest was history.
