{{Disambig}}
This is a very basic template to use for articles about specific performance dates. Please make sure to fill in all CAPITALIZED TEXT that you can with the appropriate info (ex: replace BAND NAME with [[The Police]], [[Oysterhead]], etc); if you don't know then please mark it '''unknown''' so that someone else can fill it in later, do not delete the specific table section.
 
  
The article should be named following our standard calendar format. (Ex: "YYYY-MM-DD") If more than one event has taken place on that date, name the article "YYYY-MM-DD (Artist/band name performance)" and make sure there is a disambiguation page in place at the appropriate "YYYY-MM-DD" location.

On [[1976-09-20]], [[Last Exit]] probably performed at [[Dingwall's]].

''This section needs more information. Please note if an official or unofficial recording, or recording(s), is known to exists of this performance.''
 
 
 
=Trivia=
 
This is just a guesstimation.
 
 
 
In Sounds - January 9, 1977 - Phil Sutcliffe wrote a long article about [[Last Exit]].
 
 
 
The few facts:
 
 
 
* [[Sting]] and [[Frances Tomelty]] went to Leicester Forest East Services the weekend before the gig with their Citroen Diane
 
* The band picked him up there on their way to London
 
* [[Last Exit]] supported Isaac Guillory at [[Dingwall's]] on a Monday
 
* there were a few dozen people in the audience when Last Exit played
 
* they stayed at [[Dingwall's]] until after 1am the next day to see the Isaac Guillory concert, too
 
* [[Carol Wilson]] from Virgin Publishing had arranged the gig and was present at Dingwall's ([[Carol Wilson]] and Richard Branson from Virgin Records had previously watched [[Last Exit]] support Alan Price at [[Newcastle City Hall]] earlier that autumn)
 
* She had also arranged three days of recording time at [[Pathway Studios]] on the following days
 
* [[Mike Howlett]] was in the audience, too - vaguely working for Virgin
 
* [[Carol Wilson]] bought lunch for [[Last Exit]] at a wine bar near Portobello Road the next day
 
* [[Last Exit]] spent the rest of the week recording 13 tracks at [[Pathway Studios]] (including [[I'm On This Train]], [[Savage Beast]], [[Night In The Grand Hotel]], [[I Can't Say]], [[Give And Take]] and [[Getting It On]])
 
* They were back in Newcastle on Sunday for regular spot in the [[Newcastle University Theatre]] bar at lunchtime
 
* [[Last Exit]] were supposed to be a supporting act at the [[Nashville Room]] in a couple of weeks
 
 
 
 
 
* Potential cost for the band coming down for the gig and recording would have been:
 
Petrol (van and two cars) £58
 
Accommodation (B&B, band plus roadie, five nights at £4each) £100
 
Studio (30 hours at £8 an hour) £240
 
Living expenses (minimum £2 per head per day) £50
 
Total = £448
 
 
 
(although [[Last Exit]] actually played for nothing Virgin's backing with studio time and petrol money probably reduced this to about £80 spent to be split between the four members of the band)
 
 
 
 
 
* Equipment
 
 
 
Terry: Gibson Stereo 335, Carlsbro Stingray 100-watt amp, Vox AC3O amp, Marshall 4x12 cabinet, Melosphase pedal, home-made volume pedal, Crybaby wah-wah pedal.
 
 
 
Gerry: Fender-Rhodes Stage 73 piano, Simms-WattsPA100 amp, two Unilex Transit 100 watt bins, Crybaby wah-wah, Ibanez phaser, WOZ (= home-made by Jim) automatic wah-wah.
 
 
 
Ronnie: Gretsch kit, Avedis ZiIdjian cymbals, Rogers hi-hat; Ludwig Speed-King bass drum pedal, 20 year-old Ludwig snare-drum pedal.
 
 
 
[[Sting]]: Fender Jazz bass, Marshall Super Bassman 100watt amp, Fender Dual Showman cabinet.
 
 
 
PA: two Carlsbro mini-bins, Carlsbro Marlin 1042.
 
 
 
Monitors: H&H TPA 5OD 100 watt Slave amp, twoWhite 2x12 cabinets.
 
 
 
Mikes: Shure Unidyne 111.
 
 
 
 
 
According to contemporary UK magazines the [[Dingwall's]] gig did not happen on September 6 or September 13.
 
Isaac Guillory was in London the week prior to September 20.
 
The gig at the [[Nashville Room]] took place on October 5.
 
 
 
So today is the best guess for this [[Dingwall's]] gig as described by [[Phil Sutcliffe]].
