Notes
Ad from page 5 of Kimberley Rew's Soft Boys scrapbook
Image used with permission.
Note: April 15, 1978 was actually a Saturday, not a Friday, it was a Friday in 1977, but Kimberley lists this show in 1978 in his date list in the scrapbook and has a written setlist in his archives (passed along to us by Lee Cave-Berry and included in the images here; many thanks!). The setlist also looks more like a 1978 setlist. It's possible they played on April 15 in both years but our records show the first known gig at the Hope was in January 1978. It's also possible the newspaper ad just made a mistake re. the day of the week - maybe someone was looking at the wrong month?
