T. REX Special guests:

SUPERTRAMP D.J. Ricky Tee

Doors: 7 to 12 Price: 50p Bars, etc. This advert appeared in Melody Maker on the exact day of the show. It captures T.Rex in the crucial summer of 1971, right as “Get It On” was released (July 2) and beginning its ascent to Number One. The band was transitioning from underground favourites to mainstream glam rock superstars. Supporting act Supertramp (then in their early progressive rock phase) adds extra historical interest to this early UK provincial gig.
