Archive record

The site owner confirms attending Generation X at Chancellor Hall in 1978. The surviving ticket gives the precise date as Sunday 2 April 1978, and the matching Sunday Rock flyer names Generation X plus The Jolt for April 2. No set list or attendance figure is added.

First-hand recollection

The site owner remembers being at the Generation X Chancellor Hall gig and confirms that it was in 1978. This first-hand recollection confirms the performance took place; the surviving ticket supplies the exact day and month.

Archive approach: This is a selected record from the Chelmsford Rocks archive, not a claim that every surviving detail has been resolved. Where the source is incomplete, the page stays deliberately modest.

Evidence trail

Compare this selected event with the Event Evidence Register, the Event Source Check and the Artist ↔ Event Corroboration layer. These pages keep source agreement, context and unresolved questions separate.

Matching Sunday Rock flyer

A matching flyer advertises Generation X plus The Jolt for “this week April 2, 8 p.m.” It also says Siouxsie & The Banshees are playing “next Sunday”. The flyer does not print a year; the surviving ticket below gives Sunday 2 April 1978, matching the flyer bill and calendar day.
