Loads of bands played there incl Yes. Think the Jam played there late 70s, maybe ELO were around that time too, Quo also?

Don't remember ELO playing there, they played Bingley Hall in about 77, could be wrong tho. Similarly The Jam, remember them at Viccy Hall but were they a big enough band for Trentham Gardens at that time? |

Saw Judas Priest there 1980ish. Totally upstaged by the support act that night, a little known band by the name of Iron Maiden. Wonder what happened to them... ? 😁

I went in there once to see Emperor Roscoe (sp), a DJ off Radio 1 I think, no idea how I got in, think they were short on numbers, I was 14/15 but looked about 12. |

It was great at the weekend with a couple of thousand people crammed in but not so good on a Tuesday with 50 folks in . Saw a few decent gigs there . An American blues night stands out in the memory. All these old blues men shuffled on stage and mesmerized us for 2 hours . Lightning slim , homesick James , boogie woogie red were the ones I remember. Saw Elton john there , Susie Quattro , ELO as mentioned. It was a decent music venue |

The support band was The Vapors who had a big hit with Turning Japanese. |
