    They turned out to be a very influential rock band, yet their fans were all young girls.

    I was at a Bowie concert in 72 with my Mrs. The girl behind me got so carried away she undid her top no bra. I literally didn't know which way to look.

    Of all the things that Cardiff had to offer before my time, seeing a show or concert at the Capitol Theatre is probably the one thing I'd have loved to have done.

    Went to a few shows at The Cap, a couple of Motown ones stand out. The bill both times was something ridiculous like Stevie Wonder, The Four Tops, The Supremes all on the same bill, fantastic.

    Sure did, saw most of the glam rock bands in the 70’s, Mott the hoople took some beating

    Me too. When I was a teenager, I'd say about 50% of bands I wanted to see bypassed Cardiff. I'd love to see a band at the top rank again. What's there now? What happened to the Odeon and the ABC too?

    The ABC was The Olympia in my day. All shops now, I’ve tried to work it out but I’d think that that downstairs in Matalan is the footprint of the Rank. The Nationwide is in the Odeon/Olympia area if my bearings are correct.
