It has yellowing sellotape and pinhole marks in each corner. The top also has a strip of sellotape. The poster has some slight creases and two light horizontal and vertical fold marks.

The support act Bananas were a short lived rock band active from 1974 to 1976, often associated with the college - university circuit and the Dublin - Belfast club scene. Founded by Jody Pollard on lead guitar, Ken Wilson on second guitar and Robin Irvine on bass, the group also featured Carl Geraghty on saxophone, and either Jon Donnelly or Robin Lavery on drums. Mike O'Hagan AKA Michael Sherrard on lead vocals was a brother of Eurovision Song Contest winner Johnny Logan AKA Sean Sherrard. Carl Geraghty played the distinctive saxophone on Johnny Logan's: What's Another Year; and Michael became a guitarist in his brother's backing band.
