Thanks so much for these two posts! I remember Wally very well – I was Social Secretary at my College in 1974, and we promoted the ‘Bob Harris Roadshow’ for our main winter concert – and Wally were the headline act.

In those days live music was a treat for 16 year olds at college – and we packed out the hall with over 600 people (somewhere…..there is a ‘bootleg’ tape that we recorded on a twin-track reel to reel….but that’s another story).

These albums bring back fond memories of my teenage years….many thanks…(and yes. shouting ‘WALLY’ at concerts WAS a ‘hippy thing’…!)

Jim Green: I saw Wally in 1974/75 at the Penthouse in Scarborough uk, was any body there that remembers it

Jim Green: I keep on listening to my albums of them all the time

I’ve just had a couple of memories from this band’s name. Wally were the opening band for Rick Wakeman at Crystal Palace Bowl, where he performed King Arthur with large inflatables on the pond. Wally got that day off to a really good start. Leo Sayer was also on the bill, as I remember. What varied bills you’d get in those days!

Something else I recall. For some strange reason, I don’t recall why, audiences used to call out ‘WALLY!’ before concerts began. I don’t think this was particular or peculiar to Sheffield, my home town. Could be this was one of those silly hippie things that took flight in those days. Someone calls someone else’s name and….. WALLY! is born!
This was before Wally, the band, arrived on the scene, and could be where they got their name from. Perhaps someone could enlighten me on that one.

in 1974, I saw the band WALLY in Tokyo. They came to Tokyo with French singer Michel Polnareff, as his back band. Both Polnareff and WALLY were so great!

Thank you.
