Famous Groups who have played in Hertford

I was talking to a Hertford hedgehog friend of mine recenetly about famous (now) groups who once played in Hertford. He mentioned: The Who (or High Numbers as they were then) at the Corn Exchange in the early 60s. Queen at Balls Park in the early 70s. Anyone know of any others?

The Cars (who? I hear u say!) at Balls Park a million years ago! And I saw the singer out of Mudd (of Tiger Feet & such other classics)getting off a train at Hertford East in the mid 70's. He waved to me and I was made up for a week - was easily pleased in those golden days! Oh yes, it's all coming back now - went to see the Rollers (appearing not playing) at Ware FC and gave me autograph book in and it never came out so I got invited in and got a signed photo!!! Probably still got it somewhere -- sad I know!
