Hello!
After six years of research my web site: http://www.KinemaGigz.com (http://www.KinemaGigz.com) is still incomplete, not that I ever expect to complete it fully … but …
Of the 1170 (ish) bands to play The Kinema Ballroom in Dunfermline Fife, I’ve nailed info about 950-odd of them but I still have 218 about which I know NOTHING at all!
I guess it’s entirely possible that some of these more minor outfits may have hailed from the frozen north ... and so (getting eventually to the point) … I’d like to ask to harness the considerable power of your vast readership to assist me to find & record this important information for posterity?
I need information (any information, no matter how small) about the bands listed below. I know the vast majority will have had nothing to do with Caithness, but just maybe some did and came south to play with us here in Fife?
For ‘spam’ reasons I only publish my email address in a secured fashion on the ‘Feedback’ page of my site http://www.kinemagigz.com/feedback.htm (http://www.kinemagigz.com/feedback.htm) so please contact me through that page.
I’ll of course be delighted to credit each contribution and add the author's names to my ‘Valued Contributors’ list on my ‘Sources’ page too.
