OK - This section is still being developed - in a sense, it'll always be in a state of constant development, but what I mean is - although I have pages online for every year starting from 1972 up to the present day, I haven't yet finished adding all the images that I have currently to them. At the time of typing this, I've only done up to 1984 but bear with me and I'll get there in the end:
Meanwhile - have you got anything to contribute to any of the history pages? Reviews, missing info, ticket stubs, newspaper ads, flyers, posters etc etc - if so, let me .
Laying out these pages is proving tough going with lots of unknowns and conflicting gig information!! As well as sending me any scans or info as mentioned above, could I ask if you could check in your attic or basement for old '70s/'80s copies of the following magazines:
Or any music magazine which carried gig listings and/or reviews...
If you do have some, please check through them for any contemporaneous BOC gig data and get in ...
Another way you could help is by jotting down a list of the known gigs played in your particular town, and then popping down to your local library to visit their archive/microfiche department.
Once ensconced in a comfortable chair, you might check out the back issues of the local paper and see if there any adverts for the show (pre-gig) or any reviews (post-gig). If there are, print them out and send me scans.
I don't ask for much, do I?
And if anyone's passing Stonybrook University's library, I know for a fact they have reviews of some SWU/SFG gigs printed in backcopies of the University magazine...
I'm also looking for reviews. They don't have to be big - if you went to a show in any particular year and all you can remember is one little thing, then let me know and I'll add it to the archive. Who knows, your one little thought could trigger a memory in someone else and maybe we'll get a big old BOC snowball gathering...
Oh well, that's the theory... let's see what happens... :-)
