| COLIN:
DECEMBER
21:04
I am sure this was typed on the notepaper for 'TIK', the magazine
that Arnie Knowles and I had planned, but which never made it even
as far as proof stage. I think we ran out of money. This was how The
Group metamorphosed into Chips. Note the original ad copy (at the
top) also looked for a lead guitarist. We never found one good enough
to replace Sez, who was just leaving for South Africa. In any case, Linda and Annie are listed. Where were the auditions held? The Astor Ballroom? Or somewhere else? |
||
| ROBIN: DECEMBER 22:04 I think auditions were held in the Astor Ballroom on Queen Street, yes? | ||
| DICK: DECEMBER 22:04 I think the auditions were held in Arnie's new Marquee club somewhere off Waring Street, although my Belfast geography is a little rusty by now. | ||
| BILL: DECEMBER 30:04 The auditions were held in 18/20 Hill Street - which had just been acquired for the new Marquee Club. RL remembers this very well. | ||
| COLIN: JANUARY 6:05 Yes, that seems right. The poor old New Marquee Club. If only Arnie had had enough money not to take in a partner it might all have worked out a lot differently. On the other hand, if the Marquee hadn't closed, I might never have become a journalist. (Though some might see that as a blessing.) | ||
