9/7/66 David Bowie played the Legendary Blue Moon, Cheltenham.
He played there on three occasions, with a question mark on a forth.

On this day 1968 Kippington Lodge played the Blue Pacific Gloucester. The line-up included Nick Lowe, Brinsley Schwarz and Bob Andrews (a future member of Graham Parker & The Rumour).
They returned later that year in September.

Thanks to the late Richard Selwood (Wax Machine, Gloucester ) who imported Baby Reconsider - Leon Haywood and Ian ‘Docker’ White (Blue Moon & Library) who took it to the Wheel’ and played by Les Cokell,the rest is history.
