Notes:

* During 1988, the band also played at Top Dollar Dinner Theatre, Tipton, West Mids; and Margate Winter Gardens in the summer. Dates not known.
* 18 Feb 1988 - The Tremeloes were due to support but withdrew due to illness
* 18 Mar 1988 - SWW appeared to have played the same venue (Carlos II) twice in a month. The first was not a postponed date as they were advertising discounted tickets to pepple who showed a ticket stuib from the previous gig.
* 10 Apr 1988 - Susan Maughan was due to support but pulled out due to a bout of laryngitis.
* 06 Jun 1988 - part of a fundraising weekender - newspaper reports stated a low turnout due to heavy rain and hail.
* 11 Jun 1988 - the band pulled out of a booking at Walden Hockey & Cricket Club Carnival, Saffron Walden. Freddie & The Dreamers and Brian Poole & The Tremeloes played instead.
* 01 Oct 1988 - 11th anniversary event for the opening of the Putteridge Centre.
* 26 Oct 1988 - SWW did not play the gig for reasons unknown
* 29 Nov 1988 - SWW reportedly pulled out of the gig to to a clash with a recording contract.
* 01 Dec 1988 - there is some confusion with this date, with one newspaper advertising the band at Southport Theatre, and another advertising Chesterfield Aquarius. The Southport gig seems most likely (Thursday), with the band then playing Chesterfield at the weekend (Fri/Sat).
