Canterbury Rock 1977 - and the Names!

I was clearing out an old box and found this is a cutting from a local paper in October 1977 focussing on local legends the Names. Steve Conway, the guitarist, emailed this year and told me the band were having a get together in 2011 - I hope it happened. They were a great band! The image is 1MB and should fill the page - I really must get the hang of Google blogs. A strange and exciting time - punk was rising fast but the charts were topped by Jean Michel Jarre, Boney M, Donna Summer and Elvis Presley!
