It's hard to prove that all those concerts that were advertised in UK music magazines really took place. Sometimes there are reviews, photos or eyewitnesses. Sometimes a band member can remember a gig or rule one out. But the list of concerts below is still a work in progress. Check out the individual pages to see the reasons for thinking a concert took place or was cancelled / rescheduled.
