Bo Diddley plays Henson Park, 1976

The legendary Bo Diddley once played Henson Park in Marrickville, NSW using a local backing band (whose name escapes me..! ). Support was Jeff St John and the Silver Studs, MC was Donnie Sutherland. I believe it was 1976. Luckily enough I was there to take these blurry pics...

FYI Henson Park was a rugby league football ground and before that a cycling velodrome and key venue for the 1938 Empire Games. It wasn't usually a rock venue....
