A working register for the five supplied memorabilia/event images added during this rebuild. This page deliberately separates what the object visibly establishes from what still needs independent confirmation.
Printed: Civic Theatre, Chelmsford · Sunday 21 December · 7.30 · 7/6.
Still open: year. The image itself does not print one.
Next research: compare the printed combination and date against contemporary newspapers, programmes and archive catalogue records before promoting a year to the main event index.
Printed: Galleywood Youth Centre, Watchouse Road, Chelmsford · Sunday 21 April · 2.00pm–10.30pm. Paul Spain, Sparky, Tim Bodeen and John Wisby are named.
Still open: year and whether all named people are performers, organisers or otherwise involved.
Next research: search contemporary local press, mod/soul club material and surviving personal collections.
Printed: YMCA Chelmsford · Wednesday 29 May · 8.00 till 11.15 · £2.50. The Tin Soldiers Mod Society and 'New Direction' National Tour wording are also visible.
Still open: year.
Next research: compare the flyer against contemporary YMCA/Tin Soldiers material, local newspapers and band tour records. Do not use an inferred year as the event date until corroborated.
Printed/visible: Rizla and music-related papers/badges photographed in a social-media post dated 21 September 2011.
Still open: original issue dates, ownership history and any direct connection to a Chelmsford gig.
Next research: treat the objects as provenance/memorabilia evidence unless a separate source connects an item to a specific event.
Printed: Oysterfleet Hotel, Canvey Island · Friday 4 May 2012 · doors 19.30 · £21 · ticket no. 071 · proceeds to Havens Hospice at Home.
Still open: none required for basic ticket identification; it remains an Away Gig / wider Essex memorabilia item.
Next research: cross-reference with the existing Away Gig material if the wider memorial series is expanded.
The archive is intentionally conservative. The three Chelmsford flyers contain useful local event leads, but two do not print a year and the third also lacks one. The object photograph is memorabilia rather than a gig record. The Canvey Island ticket is a dated Away Gig item.
Essex Record Office's catalogue contains descriptions of archive material, while access varies between online material, Searchroom material and material that has not yet been catalogued or digitised. That makes a staged evidence trail useful when a supplied item points toward a record that has not yet been independently checked.
