On this day, 8 April 2001, Scottish rockers Texas played the Cardiff International Arena with English rock band Reef in support.
Oddly it was the band’s second visit and quick return to the venue following a visit in February on their Greatest Hits Tour.
Founded in 1986 by Johnny McElhone (formerly of the bands Altered Images and Hipsway) and Sharleen Spiteri on lead vocals. Texas made their performing debut in March 1988 at the University of Dundee.
They took their name from the 1984 Wim Wenders movie Paris, Texas.
