Am I imagining it or did the Honeycombs once perform in front of the main stand at Highfield Road?

The only band who I remember playing in front of the main stand was an R&B outfit called The Sorrows.

You're right Dutchman, they did. I was there too. They sang their hit "Have I the right"The Sorrows did perform at HR as well, and they were a "Coventry band"

Thanks Sky Blue Kid, I thought I might have got them mixed up with another group.

By the way the group's name is a play on the the fact that female drummer Honey Lantree was a also hairdresser, hence 'Honey combs'.
