Buzzcocks / The Slits — 12 March 1978
A yearless surviving ticket can still be matched when the surrounding evidence is strong.
What the surviving ticket says
The Chancellor Hall ticket is printed for Sunday 12th March and names the venue. The ticket itself does not print a year.
A surviving flyer in the same source collection advertises March 12th — Buzzcocks plus The Slits. That is a separate piece of documentary evidence supporting the artist pairing and date.
Independent date checks
- Concert Archives records Buzzcocks at Chancellor Hall, Chelmsford on Sunday 12 March 1978.
- Tour Date Search records Buzzcocks and The Slits at Chancellor Hall on 12 March 1978.
- Southend Punk Rock History lists The Buzzcocks / The Slits at Chancellor Hall on 12 March 1978.
- 45cat lists Buzzcocks, The Slits and John Cooper Clarke at Chancellor Hall on 12 March 1978.
These independent listings converge on the same date. The surviving ticket therefore fits a wider documentary trail rather than relying on calendar matching alone.
Calendar check
The surviving ticket says Sunday 12th March but not the year. Between 1977 and 1980, 12 March falls on Sunday only in 1978. This calendar result agrees with the independent 1978 listings already cited here.
