This is the place where we will post your stories about the Green's Playhouse, The Glasgow Apollo and Satelitte City (The Wee Apollo). As it develops we will break the stories up into sections such as Myths, Gigs I missed, Meeting the Bands, Where are they now etc. No story too trivial and we will only edit out bad language!
New Forum structure on Apollomemories soon.

| A GROUP OF FRIENDS WERE IN TOWN TO SEE A NEW FILM AND AS WE PASSED THE APPOLO THE
BOUNCERS TALKED US INTO SEEING EDDIE AND THE HOT RODS, THERE MUST HAVE ONLY
BEEN ABOUT 200 PEOPLE IN AND THEY WERE MURDER. EVEN WORSE THAN THAT, THE
SUPPORT ACT WAS THE ORIGINAL ULTRAVOX, DIABOLICAL. THE PROMOTER MUST HAVE LOST
A FORTUNE

| "Winter Freeze Out" tour in December 1976 was a disaster, it was the labels
(Island) idea to team up The Hot Rods and Ultravox! After Graeme Douglas joined, the
new "beefed up" Hot Rods June 1977 gig at the Apollo was a classic. The
March 1978 gig with Radio Stars and Squeeze was easily as good again, Barrie Masters
leading the choir through "Do Anything You Wanna Do" complete with cheesy
handclaps is a lasting memory. Found a copy of "The Ramones" debut in Lost
Chord earlier in the day of that June 77 gig so its a day I'll never forget as well.
Still keep in touch with Graeme and Barrie.
