Top of the bill that year was Irish Comic Frank Carson (1926-2012), who I believe owned the pier at some point.
Second on were ' the original boy band' and 1960s favourites the Bachelors - or to be more accurate John Stokes' Bachelors as they were then called after some apparently acrimonious court action which is detailed on a website that goes into some unpleasant detail about their legal issues through the years.
Third on the bill were the Roly Polys - a troupe of large women who performed various dance routines. Apparently hilarious at the time they look quite svelte by today's standards.
