Concert Programmes, Gig Posters and Music Press Adverts

In the early days of gigging being young, keen and eager I’d often buy various goodies such as t-shirts, badges and alas programmes. Looking back on the printed materials now they are pretty naff (loaded with advertising) and no doubt expensive at the time.

When my mother moved house I finally got all my remaining old stuff (i.e. what was left following my father’s clear out whilst I was at university!) out of the loft (30 years of hi-fi, videos, cassette tapes, badges, posters etc.). Alas, 99% of it went in the skip, and this is all I have left. I’ve scanned it into pdf format as best I can given that most of the brochures are not in A4 format – so some of the edges will be missing.

I’ve also managed to get some old press adverts in here – NME, Sounds etc. from the day. Some of the quality isn’t the best but hey it’s old!

Enjoy..

    Hi Marko,

    How are you doing? I was searching for Steve Hackett items on the internet and I came across your blog/site. On there, you have a picture of a Hackett poster from October 28, 1979 and a Peter Gabriel poster from August 24, 1978. Are these your actual posters? If so, would you be interested in selling or trading something for them? I collect Genesis (and solo) posters and ticket stubs and would love to add these to my collection.

    Drop me a line when you get a chance. It would be great to talk with you.

    Thanks,

    George German

    1. Hi George

      Thanks for the email. Alas, I don’t have the posters in question. The Hackett one was on my wall at university and it’s a photo of it and the Gabriel one is long gone.

      So only images of them I’m afraid. I do however have plenty of ticket stubs, but like you I’m a collector and they would not be or sale

      I don’t know where you live, but I’ve got a spare ticket for Steve Hackett at the London Palladium in May. Interested?

      Feel free to follow my blog – god knows I need followers!!

      Cheers, Marko
