First ever artist on TOTP??? - HibeesBounce.com

U What? · 26-07-06, 12:44

With the end of an era this week and the demise of TOTP's..

We (in work) were trying to find out who was the First ever artist to perform on the iconic BBC show?

And who was the first band/artist that you remember performing??

I watched TOTP every week from the age of about 7. I think the Sweet or Slade were the first bands I can remember being on it. Also mind seeing Marc Bolan and T-Rex on it.

NaeTechno, nae argument here.

Same basic background. Think you may be referring to the 'Record Song Book' which my elder sisters used to buy during the Beatles/Stones/Kinks period. Still got a couple of copies here that I couldnae chuck, sheer magic. One lesser hit and forty-nine complete misses per issue but expertly annotated: you always knew who wrote and produced the fifty 'winners'.

And dinnae say you're old! (Wonder how auld I am....)

How the hell can you help how old you are?
I cannae even start to accuse folk of ageism cos I don't see it as an issue unless, whatever age, you are a bit insecure about summat.

Only bright, quickly-mature youngsters (and the rest of the over thirties) appreciate this.
I think I was one once, so there

There must be more out there amongst the new Bounce zitt generation?
Or are we just saddled with sad "sure thing, grandad" posters nowadays?
