Wasn't able to answer this question on Facebook or Instagram as i don't have an account. So i post my answer here.

My first Sparks show was back in 1975 at Fairfield Halls in Croydon.

Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins tour, Edinburgh's Usher Hall. They were awesome! Russell looked great and was full of energy . Christi Haydon was elegance abound. And, omg, how I hadn't realised just how funny Ron was! People were pointing out how long it had been since Sparks had played Britain. I felt so privileged to have seen them but certainly had no idea of the great shows to come.

Leeds, 23/5/18.

What a night and I hope to relive it again soon! Would have loved to have seen them around Indiscreet though- alas, I wasn't born!

I didn't realise they'd played anywhere as large as that! I knew they'd played at Fairfield Halls in Croydon, which is a much smaller venue.
