Question
I think I remember ac/dc playing our Castle Hill school social in 1973 or 1974 at the Harvey Lowe Pavilion at Castle Hill Showground, entry 50c.  This was when Mark Evans was the singer, perhaps around the time of the 'Can I Sit Next to You Girl' single.  I think I remember Angus Young in his school uniform.  Can my memory be relied on in any way?
Regards,
Duncan Nisbet
