Strong contemporary tour evidence for Tyla Gang at Chancellor Hall, Chelmsford. No surviving Chelmsford ticket has yet been matched.
First-hand attendance: the site owner remembers being at this Chancellor Hall show. This personal memory is recorded separately from the contemporary documentary evidence for the date.
The evidence
Record Mirror of 21 January 1978 lists Chelmsford Chancellor Hall — 22 in the Tyla Gang tour sequence, between Kingston Polytechnic on 21 January and Ilford Oscars on 25 January. The date is also present in later Chancellor Hall gig catalogues.
22 January 1978 was a Sunday. That fits the venue pattern, but the contemporary tour listing is the primary reason this date is included here.
