Adam Faith! Yes! Had forgotten about him. The Stones were at a dance hall in Burnley, I think....The only Dylan I remember from Keighley days was the Magic Roundabout one....
The Stones appreared at Nelson Imperial Ballroom. On the same bill that night were the Nomads from Keighley. The Nomads were also booked to play at Nelson on the same bill as the Beatles. Unfortunately it was at the time that Beatlemania erupted and the gig had to be cancelled.
Yes, must've been Nelson, not Burnley. I do remember it was a ballroom and it was packed. From the back of the hall you could see very little apart from Mick's upper lip.
Jimi Hendrix at the Troutbeck Hotel, Ilkley, just before Purple Haze had us all 'acting funny, but don't know why'! And of course, all those London R&B bands at Bingley College of Education, when the chaps were not busy chasing the skirts...
Check the T&A archives for a more in depth report. Including some Keighley girls who had it away with Jimi and the Experience!!! According to the lead groupie.
Also I think the gig was shortened by an intemperate police intervention.
