TUESDAY'S CHILDREN ARCHIVE
'Tuesday's Children' were formed in 1966 by Phil Cordell, Mick Ware and Derrick Gough who had been in North London band 'Steve Douglas and the Challengers' who later changed their name to 'The Prophets'. The Prophets did some recording with producer Joe Meek, but nothing was ever issued. When Steve Douglas and Freddie Fields left, the others reformed the band as Tuesdays Children. Paul Kendrick subsequently joined on bass guitar.

Newspaper ad for the Ritz cinema in Potters Bar, note that apart from showing films there was also wrestling advertized and a concert on 17th May 1965, top of the bill was 'Them' featuring lead singer Van Morrison, supported by Screaming Lord Sutch (later leader of the Monster Raving Looney Party) and near the bottom of the bill, The Prophets. I remember going to concerts like this, each act performed for about 20 minutes and the shows were fronted by a compere.
Newspaper advert for the Wolsey Hall Cheshunt, a venue that the group played often in the early days. Top of the bill was the Migil 5 who had a hit with a ska influenced song 'Mockinbird Hill'. The Migil 5 took over the resident spot at the Tottenham Royal ballroom from the Dave Clark 5 when they had their first hit record. Note that there were 5 groups on including 'Steve Douglas and the Challengers'
