As a teenager in the 1950s I lived on a farm in Little Stainton, about seven miles from Stockton, and was dependent on my mother Diana Lamb being prepared to buy tickets and drive us into town to see the package shows at the Globe. I’ve been tyring to fix exact dates for the people I saw there – Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers, Guy Mitchell, Lonnie Donegan (not the panto referred to above, but a package tour which had Miki & Griff on the same bill), Bill Haley, the Platters, Tommy Steele, and most memorable of all, the Crickets featuring Buddy Holly (I think I have that date, March 1958).
Can anybody help?
It would be greast to have a calendar of who played there during that era – it seemed that every major artist included Stockton on their itinerary in those days.
