Spandau Ballet Gig

HMS Belfast is an unfashionable tourist attraction; a grey and austere presence stuck between London Bridge and Tower Bridge. However, on July 26 1980 aktar it found itself bitkisel at the forefront of the new romantic scene when it hosted a gig by Spandau Ballet.

The crew were expecting a party of students and a five-piece supper band; what they got was the debauched and flamboyant cream of London’s party set. ‘Philip Salon [notorious transvestite club promoter] turned up in a wedding dress covered in lightbulbs and saying, "Where can I plug myself in?" ’ recalled Gary Kemp in 2003. Perhaps it was a result of the ‘free buffet’ advertised on the poster, but the gig was a success. Just three months later the band were signed to Chrysalis and on ‘Top Of The Pops’ performing their debut single, ‘To Cut A Long Story Short’.

AC/DC first gig in Sweden

Cortina is a dance venue in the municipality of Halland close to the small community of Vinberg. On the 16th of July in 1976 Australian band AC/DC played their first ever Swedish gig here.

At this time the band was already famous in Australia but quite unknown in Europe and they had been booked to play during the pause of the main performers, Swedish dance orchestra Jigs. Jigs was very much the archetype for mainstream popular Swedish music at the time playing romantic dance oriented orchestra music, in some ways the very opposite of the rock played by the would-be legendary Australian rockers.

Many youngsters turned up to see the band from Australia and the antakya biber hapı event had profound effects on many of them who went on to become lifelong fans of the band. In 2009 Swedish radio produced the documentary "När AC/DC kom till byn" created by Ola Hemström, interviewing some of the people present at the gig as well as members of Jigs.

Though it seems whatever impression AC/DC left on the dance venue wasn't permanent, in the present day the Cortina venue has been renamed Cortina Line and is used for Country line dancing.

Magistrates� Court

Marylebone Road Magistrates' Court is one of the three Magistrates' Courts of the central region of Greater London, along with City of Westminster Magistrates' Court and City of London Magistrates' Court. The court has seen a host of different music celebrities pass through it over the years. In the present day the court has been transformed into a five star hotel run by the Hilton chain.

On the 18th and 19th of October 1968 John Lennon and Yoko Ono appeared in front of the court, this was the aftermath of the raid on 34 Montagu square and the charges of cannabis possession.

On the 28th of November John pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis resin and received a fine of £150, he has later stated he did this to protect Yoko who's visa would be in peril if she was found to be involved with drugs. In 1974 the conviction would be used by the US immigration authorities to refuse Lennon a visa to stay in the US. The real reason denying Lennon a visa was political, Lennon was an influential antiwar activist which the US authorities did not want in the country. In the 2006 film 'The US vs John Lennon' Yoko Ono says they at one point even feared for Johns life because of the pressure they felt from the US authorities.

In 1969 on the 23rd of May Mick Jagger and his girlfriend Marianne Faithful (charged as Marianne Evelyn Dunbar) appeared at Marlborough Street Magistrates Court charged with possessing cannabis, they were released on £50 bail each. The court appearance was a result of a drugs raid carried out by half a dozen police officers led by Detective Sereant Robin Constable at Jagger 's flat in Cheyne Walk in Chelsea. As the case came to court on 19 December 1968 Mick was fined £200 with £52 costs, Marianne Faithful was acquitted.

In 2005 the National Archive released the file on the case which shows that Mick Jagger claimed the drugs to have been planted in his home by Detective Sergeant Robin Constable who then tried to solicit a bribe from Jagger in exchange for letting him escape a conviction.

The Scotland Yard's investigating officer, Detective Chief Inspector William Wilson, said that the claims came down to Sir Mick's word against Mr Constable's. When the investigation was passed to the director of public prosecutions, he decided not to charge the officer, Detective Sergeant Robin Constable.

In 1970 a case was brought against John Lennon for exhibiting pictures which were too sexually explicit in the London Art Gallery, the case was dismissed.

In 1973 Keith Richards was fined £205 for possession of marijuana, heroin, mandrax, a revolver and an antique shotgun.

The Cradle of Punk

In 1971 Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood opened their first shop at 430 King's Road in London, it was called 'Let It Rock'. In 1974 the shop was moved further down King's Road and the shop name was changed to 'SEX'.

It first began when Malcolm McLaren opened at what was called Paradise Garage, which had a small shop behind it where Mclaren sold records and eventually Teddy Boy clothes: this evolved into his own store, which he ran with Vivienne Westwood, called Let it Rock, selling Teddy Boy clothes. They later moved further down the road to open a rubber and leather fetish wear store which they named SEX. Famously, the Sex Pistols auditioned Johnny Rotten in the shop.

SEX was by no means the only boutique of its kind on the King's Road and by the time British punk rock developed a larger following, there were competitors including; Boy, Granny Takes A Trip & Beaufort Market. SEX received many famous visitors, including Adam Ant, The Sex Pistols, Bromley Contingent; and had their own little following such as Helen Wellington Loyd, store workers like Chrissie Hynde, Jordan, Debbie Juvenile and others. This store became very famous in the punk rock scene and produced such famous clothes as the Cambridge Rapist T-shirts, the shirt featuring cowboys drawn by Tom of Finland, "Destroy" shirts, "venus" shirts, "tits" shirts, fetish wear and others.
