A selective, but fairly exhaustive list of who played where and when in Bournemouth and the surrounding area in 1972
Each list is prefixed with a brief summary of some of the artists who made an impression in the UK music charts that year
Get your sequins and sparkly flares on, glam is upon us big time, T Rex, Gary Glitter, Slade, Mott the Hoople, Roxy Music and The Sweet were the flag bearers, making way for the all-conquering David Bowie. MoR pop was just as nauseating as ever with The New Seekers, Lieutenant Pigeon, Chicory Tip, Gilbert O’Sullivan, Hot Butter, Middle of the Road and Neil Reid (an eight year old kid from Scotland who won the talent show New Faces and then made all our mothers weep into their knitting with “Mother of Mine”) all lowering the tone. Odd spots of relief came from Rod Stewart, 10cc, Argent, Lindisfarne, Derek and the Dominos, Python Lee Jackson and The Faces and even though “Silver Machine” by Hawkwind was a racket, at least it was a glorious racket. The Americans didn’t help by foisting Donny, Jimmy and the rest of the Osmonds gang on us, plus David Cassidy and The Partridge Family and as for my “Ding a Ling”, what were you thinking Chuck. On the bright side they also gave us America, Al Green, Jackie Wilson, Paul Simon and Alice Cooper’s call to arms for kids of a certain age, “School’s Out”!
