June 30th 1979 Gonzalez TCOJ White Glass A poor year this year in terms of acts, due to many of the original billed acts pulling out at the last minute. The only act I saw that year was Hi-Tension. By now Jazz and its many derivatives are starting to seep in to my consciousness . Hi - Tension were a top Jazz Funk outfit of the day, and riding high on the jazz funk wave with the tracks, "Hi Tension" and "British Hustle which had a packed Town Park, including me, moving and grooving to their own brand of dance music.
However, I can say that without Shadow of a doubt the Bay City Rollers, The Rubettes, Kenny and Stevenson’s Rocket have never at any point been found in my record collection. Stephen Goldsmith |
