Compact evidence cards for named artists and bands. These cards record the source pathway that puts an artist into the archive.
Primary archive pathway: 23 Jan 1965 event record, Corn Exchange.
Independent context: Peter Searles oral history, SA 15/1/4/1/1, discusses support work involving The Who and the Corn Exchange.
Boundary: the oral history is contextual evidence, not a replacement for the event record.
Primary archive pathway: 29 May 1977 event record, Chancellor Hall.
Independent context: Paul Cleary and Ian Fortnam oral histories describe Chancellor Hall and Chelmsford's punk scene.
Boundary: scene context does not create new dated performances.
Primary archive pathways: 7 Nov 1990 event record; separate Paul Cleary recollection of a first attended gig in 1974 at Chancellor Hall.
Boundary: these are two different claims and remain separate.
Source: SA 15/1/4/5/1, J. Alliston oral history.
Scope: band history, bookings, dance halls, Odeon dances and the changing Chelmsford live-music scene.
Boundary: catalogue synopsis is not treated as a complete performance list.
Source: SA 15/1/4/1/1.
Useful for the 1950s–60s network of local groups, venues and support acts. The source is an oral history recorded in 2004.
Sources: SA 15/1/4/4/1 and SA 15/1/4/12/1.
These are scene-context sources for 1970s punk and later Chelmsford live music. They are deliberately not flattened into a gig chronology.
Use the Artist Evidence Network to move in both directions: artist → source → venue → event, and event → venue → source → artist.
