It looks alright to me... I've never been there personally, but I know the name of it... It was demolished in 1978. The picture looks right to me... The spelling is old Danish spelling, we also have a paper in Odense called Fyens stiftstidende... nowadays we would spell if like this: Fyns. My mother once sang in Fyens Forum together with a lot of other Danish singers and performers in 1952, but it didn't bring her fame and fortune... and she also sang a song on her own, but she can't remember the name of the song anymore... I was only 14 in 1978, and 6 in 1970. I didn't hear about Jethro Tull before 1980... So Fyens Forum is something I've heard about, but probably never seen... |

Led Zep played there around the same time and one of the Zep fan sites mentions that it was a round building which can be see just behind the front of the venue. |

The best Tull years were at the Gardens. Toronto, Canada How Maple Leaf Gardens grew: From the Leafs to the Beatles and everything in-between Yes, Maple Leaf Gardens had its share of sound problems, not that it mattered to screaming fans over its 68-year history as a professional event venue. Over the decades, the rafters reverberated with the sounds of Elvis Presley, The Who, the Rolling Stones and every loud act in-between. The Beatles’ warbling during three Toronto visits in the mid-’60s was lost in a deafening cacophony, thanks mostly to screeching fans. “The Beatlemaniacs had paid almost $100,000 in admission money to hear themselves,” reporter Alan Edmonds remarked in 1964.  |

Remember the wrestling well - dear old Kent Walton used to compare the bouts. He'd also been a DJ on Radio Luxembourg for many years. The Fairfield Halls was opened around 1962 and was built on the site of a large railway terminus which later became a huge car park before the Halls were built. At one time it had a huge reputation for hosting rock concerts but it seems it's seen better days and a revamp is urgently needed. |

I love old photographs and these are great! Wonder how they came up with the name 'The Tin Hat'? I just love the old vehicles in some of the pictures. What is slightly confusing about some of these early venues are the pictures of the old ballrooms and pubs concerned that are on the web as so many are now demolished to make way for convenience stores, car parks and in one case a paintball establishment. In a few cases, one or two of the old ballrooms where the John Evan Band played have no record of what the place looked like which historically is a great shame. This also happens to some extent with the early US venues - so many have been torn down and replaced and no record has been kept of what they originally looked like. The Stone Balloon that you referred to a few days ago is a case in point. |

That reminds me of one of those niggling questions I have and that is what else do I recognise the prize giver on the front of the TAAB cover from? I'm positive that he had bit parts on 60's TV dramas and I would love to see a pic of him appearing on something else. Wonder what his name was? |

BBC Lime Grove
London, UK 'Top Of The Pops' debut, with 'Living In The Past'. www.ministry-of-information.co.uk/Lime Grove Studios was originally a film studio complex built by the Gaumont Film Company in 1915, but it was later purchased by the BBC who used it for television broadcasts from 1949 to 1991. It was situated in Lime Grove, a residential street in Shepherd's Bush, west London, and was described by Gaumont, when it first opened, as "the finest studio in Great Britain and the first building ever put up in this country solely for the production of films". Many Gainsborough Pictures films were made here from the early 1930s. Its sister studio was Islington Studios, also used by Gainsborough. Films were often part shot at both Islington and Lime Grove. The complex was demolished in 1993 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_Grove_Studios#In_popular_culture 16 June 1969

Many Gainsborough Pictures films were made here from the early 1930s. Its sister studio was Islington Studios, also used by Gainsborough. Films were often part shot at both Islington and Lime Grove. The complex was demolished in 1993 One of those Television programmes recorded at Lime Grove in the fifties was 'The Groves'. I'm old enough to remember it. Named after the BBC's Lime Grove Studios,'The Grove Family' was Britain's first soap for adults. The first twenty-minute story went out on Friday 2nd. April 1954 at 7.50pm and showed a lower-middle-class couple who'd worked hard to build a home for themselves and their family after the war and were just beginning to feel comfortably off after years of hardship. The stories were more naive than dramatic, dealing with simple social issues and consumerist concerns.
By the end of the year, The Groves had built up a following of nearly 9 million people, a quarter of the population. Viewers of all ages wrote angry letters to the BBC about the atrociously ungrateful Gran; asked for estimates for building work from Bob Grove; advised Gladys about slimming, Jack about his girlfriends and Pat about her admirers.
Gran's famous saying was "I'm faint from the lack of nourishment"
On a visit to the studios, the Queen Mother declared herself a fan, calling the family, 'so English, so real'. |

I've just read that the first concert by Jethro Tull was at The Bay Hotel Sunderland. Apart from this set list I've been unable to find anything else out about this venue. Anyone got any more info?  |
