A bit late to this, but does anyone have memories of seeing local band Romany Rye play, or can provide more information on the time Free played at the College? Doing research for a book.
Saw many live gigs at the College. Free twice, Wishbone Ash twice, Mick Abraham’s Band, Family, The Move, Quintessence twice, Tyr Na Nog twice, Vinegar Joe (with Elkie Brooks & Robert Palmer) and The Purple Gang of course 1970-72.
Hello to all at Stockport College concerts in the 1970 and71 I am David Roman I was the disc jockey for all those concerts feel free to be in touch at bluezennhotmail.co.uk or 07814459546 Thaks
So the building is being dropped as I write. Stockport College CU. Spoke to demolition team who told me the piano was dropped in the skip on Wednesday October 27th 2021.
Saw loads of bands at the college, early 70s,. Free twice, Wishbone Ash twice, Mick Abrahams Band (just ceased to be Blodwyn Pig), Family, The Move, Purple Gang many times, Groundhogs, Tyr Na Nog. Also saw East of Eden & Edgar Broughton at the Town Hall; & Barclay James Harvest, David Bowie, High Tide at the Poco A Poco
Watching the Elton John programme, remember seeing him at Stockport College early seventies, queuing up outside when he got out of his car and walked passed us. Saw Free, Family, and Rory Gallagher(Taste as they were called at the time) Purple Gang were ex art students from the college. Good times.
