Wasn't able to answer this question on Facebook or Instagram as i don't have an account. So i post my answer here.
My first Sparks show was back in 1975 at Fairfield Halls in Croydon. |

Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins tour, Edinburgh's Usher Hall. They were awesome! Russell looked great and was full of energy . Christi Haydon was elegance abound. And, omg, how I hadn't realised just how funny Ron was! People were pointing out how long it had been since Sparks had played Britain. I felt so privileged to have seen them but certainly had no idea of the great shows to come. |

I didn't realise they'd played anywhere as large as that! I knew they'd played at Fairfield Halls in Croydon, which is a much smaller venue. _________________ Gonna hang myself from my family tree. |
