Ah yes, August 12th, 1967 - memorable for being the day
before Fleetwood's Mac's debut performance at the Windsor Jazz and Blues Festival!!!
Please, people - get the date correct. Goes to show you can't believe everything you read on the internet......
And another correction - the group's debut certainly did not get them their recording contract, they'd already been working with Mike Vernon of Blue Horizon at that point.

In 1967, Fleetwood Mac made their first public appearance at the British Jazz and Blues Festival. Their debut netted them a recording contract, and their first album stayed near the top of the British charts for more than a year.

On this day in 1967, Fleetwood Mac made their live debut at London's National Jazz & Blues Festival. The festival's headliners were two British artists who were neither blues nor jazz: Donovan and Pink Floyd. Oh, the Sixties! |
