Boston Gliderdrome Club

The Boston Gliderdrome was a well known club that had history going back to the 1930’s but ran in the rock era from 1960 to 1973. The list of bands who played there is impressive.

The club is open again now and they have a website here.

There is a page on the theyplayedpeterborough website that gives some history.

Somebody has listed all the gigs out as PDF and I have recreated it here. I’m not quite sure who that is yet but I will endeavour to acknowledge them when I find out. I will add extra notes to some of the bands as I get through it.
