CAMDEN PALACE - 8th NOVEMBER 1998

Latest news about the Memorial plaque - the plaque will be placed and unveiled on the 9th February 2000 at the crematorium in Breakspear Road, Ruislip at 1:15pm. All the Jerkin' Crocus guys will be there and we look forward to seeing some of you there as well to remember Brian on this special occasion.

On the 9th February 1997 BRIAN CONNOLLY lead singer with 70’s glam gods THE SWEET sadly passed away. We were approached by his ex-wife Marilyn and asked to stage a memorial show with the proceeds being used to purchase a memorial plaque.
