Comment on Jimi Hendrix played with Amen Corner! by Mickey P

Thanks Blue, I emailed Clive last year and he remembered the gig but not the other June dates. He said Terry suggested Ambrose Slade and he was going ask ‘the others’ about it. He is no longer available on email and I’ve not heard anything from him since?

It was obviously very close to the band breaking up and Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich also broke up around the same time. I can only assume that these June Tour dates must have been at a very unstable time. Were you still with Don Arden at that point?

Hi Mickey! Yes I remember this gig as my Auntie Ada lived just outside Newcastle in Blyth and always came to any gigs we did in the area but can’t recall any of the others, if any, we played with A Slade at that time. We did however play the Newcastle City Hall on the Hendrix tour. Sorry if I have any recollections I will let you know or post here.

Sorry, that should read “He was managed by Chas Chandler”

Hi Blue,

I’ve just found my way here. This is an great site that I will spend a lot of time working through. It’s really interesting to hear that AC toured with Hendrix. They, of course, were managed by Chas Chandler and he went on to manage Slade. I arrived here at your site because I am researching Ambrose Slade, who played with AC and Dave Dee in Newcastle, June 6th 1969. That was the first of five June dates but I can’t find evidence of the other dates happening. Any memories of this Blue?

Hi Lisa
I really wish there was someone out there that had a copy of this. I’ve been trying for sometime to track a copy down but without success yet.

Derek. Just happened across your site. Brought back so many memories. Remember you were playing I think with Contrasts in Cardiff with Phil Burnett et al. I was a cop at the time and used to hang around with Phil. Dont know if you remember. So interested in following your cv on this site through the 60s 70s and 80s. I think one of the clubs you played at with Phil’s band, was the Barry Non Pol up there on the top of the Dock view. Just a reminiscence. The 60s were something else and could never be forgotten.
