The Detours play in Peckham at the Paradise Club. Suspected to be the first show they ever play.

"The Detours line-up now comprised Colin Dawson on lead vocals, Roger on lead guitar and trombone, John on bass guitar and trumpet, Pete on rhythm guitar, and Doug Sandom on drums. Doug's first full engagement with The Detours was an unspecified date in July 1962 at The Paradise Club"

"After about five weeks The Paradise Club was invaded by members of a rival club in Peckham who started a fight and broke up the premises. As a result The Detours lost the booking" ("The Who Concert File")

The date of these gigs is uncertain.
