That Cramps pic is not at The Rock Garden (yes they played there).
I know a few people in The Clash pic.
The amount of people who claim to have gone to the Rock Garden is on par with the amount that claim to have been at Hartlepool in 86.
There's hundreds of fliers, gig pictures ( some of them mine), press cuttings in the FB RG group

Carl Green & The Scene!! I was only talking about them few weeks ago, bumped in to an old mate & we reminisced about gigs & times we saw them, got to know them & when they got us up on stage in town hall crypt to sing very bad backing vocals to the encore, Teenager in love. They gave us autographed copies of tea in China. My First & last performance Infront of an audience.

Its nostalgia - not just the Rock Garden.

I saw Carl Green at Philmores. I also saw a band called "Rules of Croquet" - anyone else remember them?

Unfortunately not.
I keep a collection of scrap book snaps and a catalogue of photos and images.

Clem was keyboard player in Rules of Croquet, as in Mark Clemmit, BBC sports presenter.

Discharge weren't metal - proper Teesside punks, Scrubber, John Bell and the recently departed Dave Robbo in the pic in a Smash Hits feature from 79

Yeah, wasn't sure. There was a metal band who were pretty good (if you like that sort of thing) - I wonder who that was??

From Teesside? Can't recall one but then I was never into Metal.
There was a hardcore "punk" band from Stoke called Discharge who became more well known than our version who played really fast & loud and got lumped (musically) on the metal side by some.

Maybe they weren't from the Boro!
I remember seeing them (whoever it was) at the Poly a couple of times. The lead singer was a thick set lad...Not your typical metal singer. Good band but not my cup of tea!
The Choirboys was a one off group that played the RG following a cancellation. 2 members are regular posters on here.

Carl Green is still kicking about with his band Head of Light Entertainment, still gigging and very brilliant.

They certainly did, May 17th 1977. There's a picture of them doing so in the original post. I have a full set of shots from the Gazette that were taken at the gig.So did The Clash play the Rock Garden?? I've had conflicting opinions
