The show was promoted by Peter Holmes, Ray Aldous and Geoffrey Walker, who set up the gig after hearing that fellow promoter Alan Lockwood had turned them down. At the time, they had only one single in the charts.
By the time of the show, they had a single and an album at number one.

World Baking Day
Cookies, brownies, pies, bread…try out some new recipes, or revisit  your old favorites to have a little fun in the kitchen and end up with  tasty treats.
Crunchy cookies, chewy brownies, decadent tortes, cute cupcakes,  crusty baked bread…baking is an art this world would just not be the  same without. Do you even know anyone who could honestly say they don’t  have deep, unconditional love for at least one of the above? We thought  not! This World Baking Day, it’s time to dig out that  rolling pin and prepare something delicious! Surprise a friend,  coworker, neighbor or relative with a delicious sweet or savory treat to  let them know how much you care, or just make something to enjoy in  your own home. However you decide to celebrate this day, make it  deliciously unforgettable!
History of World Baking Day
World Baking Day was created by the folks over at worldbakingday.com,  who decided it was high time to spread the joy of baking all around the  world, especially to those who perhaps don’t bake too often and are not  particularly experienced at it. This day is meant to show people just  how much fun it can be to make a cake or some cookies, and baking can be  a great way to spend time with family and friends. Not to mention how  much fun it is to eat what you’ve made once it’s done!
It’s incredible that we’ve managed to go so long without a World  Baking Day. We discovered evidence that baking has existed for over  14,000 years, proving that we simply can’t live without it! In fact, the  first bakers in Jordan created flatbreads, which they then wrapped  around meat – potentially the first-ever sandwich in existence. Roman  times saw the birth of the artisan baker. Lovers of all things decadent,  Romans prized the pastry chef, and those that brought new baked goods  to the worlds were ever-popular at feasts and banquets.
In the United Kingdom, by the Middle Ages, baking went commercial,  with many trading regulations and rules governing how to bake and sell  bread. But everyone’s got to eat, so anyone with an oven was baking  bread to feed their families. The delicious, mouth-watering cakes we eat  today started to emerge for the upper echelons of society from the  middle ages onwards.
Technology also helped upgrade the ovens to help bring better-baked  goods to the masses, especially in the nineteenth century. Food was  easier to preserve, too, so many people could order in meats and milk  from across the country rather than relying on their backyard cows or  chickens. Cans also cultivated a new innovation for baking, as meats and  veg could be canned and exported from places like Australia.
New baking innovations arrived during WWI and WWII. In America during  the wars, baking thrived as people moved to the US, and rationing saw  the need for increasingly crafty creations. In America, different  flavors from across the world arrived, from Italian cannolis to Mexican  Tres Leches. When people couldn’t find fat or eggs during the wars,  Applesauce Cake was baked into existence, which is still made today and  used as an alternative to eggs and fat in vegan baking.
The increase in prosperity after the war allowed baking to flourish  into the foods we love today, all culminating in this event. Enjoy the  chance to bake, eat, and be merry with friends and family during this  day.
How to celebrate world Baking Day
You don’t have to be a pastry chef specializing in fancy tortes to  celebrate this holiday. All you really need is a little flour, sugar and  butter and a sense of adventure! One of the best things about baking is  that there are thousands upon thousands of recipes to choose from, so  everyone is sure to find something to suit their specific tastes. Are  you a fan of all things chocolate? Why not make some brownies? Rocky  Road Brownies, for example, combine the richness of chocolate with the  crunchiness of walnuts and the softness of marshmallows. But perhaps the  best news about brownies is that almost all brownie recipes can be made  in just one bowl!
If you’re more of a health food buff, there’s no reason for you to  feel left out—there are plenty of baked goods that are decidedly good  for you, like apple-cinnamon bran muffins or date and oatmeal muffins,  and many more. Do you have a rambunctious child who is curious about the  world? Why not share the magic of baking with them by making some  creatively decorated cookies? Chocolate cherry thumbprint cookies, for  example, are both easy and fun to make. Sugar cookies are also very  simple to make and lots of fun to decorate with colorful icings and  sprinkles. Or are you a bit more experienced at baking? If so, there are  also many torte recipes that you could hone your skills making. Apricot  Almond Torte, for example, requires you to make your own marzipan. And  who wouldn’t want to know how to make their own perfect marzipan?
Or are you a fan of baking but prefer savory to sweet? Why not bake  that bread, or create those mouth-watering pies and pastries that we all  love so much? Fill your creations with delicious savory treats, like  cheese or meat. Vegan or vegetarian? Browse your favorite recipe books  for inventions made with flour, salt, applesauce, and sunflower oil. If  you’re a budding savory baker, crustless quiches are the perfect way of  incorporating delectable fillings in a quick and easy way.
If you don’t have time to bake, you could visit a local bakery  instead of buying yet another package of mass-produced, sugary cookies  filled with preservatives but devoid of flavor. Nothing is quite as  relaxing as sitting back with a cup of coffee or tea and perhaps a book,  enjoying a piece of pie.
If you want to share the baking joy with your nearest and dearest,  why not invite some friends over for a baking party? It’s the perfect  excuse to share your cakes and cookies (or at least the recipes). You  can ask them to bring round their favorite cookie cutters and recipe  ideas and you can all whizz up a storm in your kitchen. Or you can order  in from your local bakery, put on a cooking competition and binge-watch  and eat at the same time.
However, you decide to celebrate this day, make sure you and your  nearest and dearest enjoy this day and all of its sweetness to the  fullest.

#OTD in Irish History | 17 May:
1650 – Oliver Cromwell’s army is defeated in the second assault on Clonmel, suffering its heaviest losses. The following day, the Mayor of Clonmel negotiates honourable terms for surrender with Cromwell, who did not realise that O’Neill and his soldiers had left the town. Annoyed at being outwitted, Cromwell nevertheless keeps to the terms. 1730 – Elizabeth, widow of William Molyneux, marries…

Día de la lucha contra la homofobia
Parece que hoy es el día contra la homofobia y contra el odio hacia otros miembros del colectivo LGTBI y estaba recordando como fue hace unos años que salí del armario con mi madre.
Y lo desastroso que fue. Me hablo del asco que sentía, dijo que necesitaba un psicólogo, que tenía que cambiar... me insulto y denigro tanto como pudo. Yo no dije una sola palabra, pero decidí que no podía ceder y que si insistía me tenía que ir a la mierda. No es que tuviera donde.
Pero no paso nada. Al día siguiente hizo como si nada hubiera sucedido. Y yo sentí un poco de alivio, a pesar de todo. Quería hablar con el resto de mi familia, abuela, tíos, primos, pero no quería hacerlo sin antes arreglar las cosas con ella, porque no quería provocar un lío familiar.
Así que decidí guardar silencio un tiempo, hasta acomodarme. Y acá estoy, demasiado cómoda. A pesar de que sigo un poco metida en el closet, aunque sea a medias, con mi familia.
Pequeñas señales que he notado en este tiempo me dicen que ella no ha cambiado su forma de ver las cosas.
Yo me considero una mujer de carácter, valiente, frontal. Pero no es fácil luchar, querer ser autentico y orgulloso, cuando empieza por casa. No es fácil reconciliar la idea de que la gente que “más te ama” y la que te rechaza, puede ser la misma.
Yo me prometí que si me veía en una relación seria, lo afrontaría. Con la verdad. Pero no hubo necesidad de ello por el momento y hacerlo por mi misma me parece más difícil. Más solitario y agotador. Más aterrador. Pero ¿hasta donde puedo arreglar los otros aspectos de mi vida, mientras tengo esto pendiente?
No todo el odio y rechazo viene en forma de insulto, de grito. El silencio puede ser una cadena pesada. Y aun más difícil descubrir como manejarlo de la forma correcta. Y mucho más si viene precisamente de los tuyos.
Yo estoy aún en eso. Veremos que tal.
