Steve Clark and Kev Wright supplied audience memories; Kev recalls a small audience and says Happy Mondays may originally have been due to support. These details remain recollections. Poster and audience memories.

* Day/month/year attribution comes from the supplied filename; the poster crop itself does not show the full date. † The date is derived from a post dated 9 December 2016 that says “last night”.

Adding newly found historic gigs

New historic Chelmsford gigs can be added from supplied tickets, posters, adverts or other source material without changing the preserved 52-page transcript. Record the artist, venue and date as the source shows them. If a poster gives a day and month but no year, show the year as unknown (for example, 21 December ?). If the source prints no date, use ? and state that no date is printed. Do not infer a year or date from a weekday or from memory alone. Link the entry to its source image or document, and keep uncertainty visible.

This rule is for newly discovered historic records in the Chelmsford archive. Upcoming events belong in a separate current-events listing.

Preserved original

The unmodified original PDF remains in the source archive. Its obsolete links are excluded from this rebuilt web page.
