On this day, 24 February 1964, Sixties pop icons Sandie Shaw and Adam Faith played Cardiff’s Capitol Theatre. Also on the bill were, The Barron Knights, The Paramounts, Roulettes, Patrick Kerr with Freddie Earle (compere).
Sandie Shaw, an English singer is one of the most successful British female singers of the 1960s, she had three UK number one singles with "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" (1964), "Long Live Love" (1965) and "Puppet on a String" (1967). With the latter, she became the first British entry to win the Eurovision Song Contest.
Shaw was a regular on popular British TV programmes of the time such as Top of the Pops, Ready Steady Go! and Thank Your Lucky Stars.
She was seen as epitomising the "swinging Sixties", and her trademark of performing barefoot endeared her to the public at large.
She also recorded most of her hit singles in Italian, French, German and Spanish boosting her popularity in Europe.
Terence Nelhams Wright known as Adam Faith, was an English singer, actor and financial journalist.
A teen idol, he scored consecutive No. 1 hits on the UK Singles Chart with "What Do You Want?" (1959) and "Poor Me" (1960). He became the first UK artist to lodge his initial seven hits in the top 5, and was ultimately one of the most charted acts of the 1960s.
