When Bernie Wilcox and Geoff Brown
approached Chris Hewitt in June 1978 about building a stage and
providing a PA system for
Alexandra Park, Manchester, Chris already had all the hardware booked
for the Deeply Vale Festival which was a week later in July
1978 than the date Bernie and Geoff had proposed for the Northern
Carnival Against Racism Concert. This then meant that all of the
equipment, generators, scaffolding and fencing could simply have the
hire period brought forward to cover Alexandra Park and that the
costs would be far more reasonable than a completely ‘start from scratch
hire’. So it was that about 12 days before Deeply Vale 1978
we started to build a stage and secure compound in Alexandra Park,
Manchester.
Three days before Buzzcocks were due to play on
the Saturday we got a call to ask if Graham Parker and The Rumour could
rehearse in the park on the stage on the Thursday night as
he was supporting Bob Dylan and Eric Clapton at a festival at Blackbushe
Aerodrome on the Saturday and Graham and the Rumour
had never played outdoors before. So we finished the stage by Thursday
lunchtime for a free concert by Graham Parker in the evening
and then Buzzcocks played Alexandra Park Saturday afternoon. Pete
Shelley in 2016 – “I know Chris Hewitt obtained a recording of
Buzzcocks at Alexandra Park, it would be great fun if it came out as an
album”. Pete Shelley 1978 after playing his set at Alexandra
Park –“This wasn’t politics it was fun, but the best kind of fun is with
people and being with people is politics”. Paul Morley reviewing the
concert – “Buzzcocks placed the emphasis on entertainment – a people’s
celebration. Arriving on stage with no fixed set they played
some pop music _______________________________________________
