Margate Winter Gardens saw its biggest-ever rock concert crowd in the main hall on Sunday. | |||
More than 1,500 fans packed the building to hear the music of top band, Elvis Costello and The Attractions. | |||
Elvis performed a string of hits including chart toppers "Oliver's Army" and "Can't Stand Up For Falling Down." | |||
The star was so popular he was called back for three encores. | |||
Theatre manager David Bill, said: "This is the biggest crowd the Winter Gardens had ever had for a live rock concert. | |||
"The fans should be pleased with themselves for supporting the show in such a way. Many people automatically associate rock bands with trouble, but the crowds were extremely orderly." | |||
Mr. Bill added: "There is obviously a market for this sort of entertainment in the area and we are hoping to bring down even bigger bands." | |||
