Full article:
John Bishop : The three groups that played at that concert in the John Street Multi Storey car park on Saturday 28 June 1969, were The Equals, Status Quo, who replaced a group called the Chicken Shack at late notice, and The Nite People. The event was organised by Swindon Youth Council of which I was a member, as part of Swindon Youth Week. Probably every current day laws were broken on that night as over 2,000 people turned up having only sold a few hundred tickets before the event. However, the event was very successful and included the final of Miss Youth Week as well, which was won by a 19 year old, Miss Jill Vertannes.
