I don't collect ticket stubs but some people do and they are on eBay. Did police search for Albert Hall stubs or dig deep archives? No.
Albert Hall would of had records of Harris at Albert Hall.

Indeed, there's a lot of information online. If I remember correctly, Wendy Wild/Rosher claimed that the event at the community centre and alleged abuse had taken place around the time of the 1969 moon landing. Rolf Harris was able to prove he was in Australia at the time (and I remember finding an old Australian newspaper online proving that). So she then "remembered" it had been at another time, I think around her birthday, and he wasn't able to prove where he was then. (Times like moon landings, birthdays, Easter, Christmas, etc. are so easy to "remember" from a random year. )

Not sure if the police had any footage, maybe they just saw the photos online. You'd think they'd have obtained footage to check out her story. Or maybe it suited their purposes not to, or to keep it quiet if the footage exonerated him. As shown in the book, the police had evidence that Wendy Wild/Rosher was lying (no council records of an event with Rolf Harris - who was a huge star at the time, performing at venues like the Royal Albert Hall - at the community centre, no newspaper articles about it, no local memory of it, someone backing her up who was well known locally as a fantastist, who said he'd been in the Korean war in the 1960s (apparently the police didn't realise or, perhaps more likely, didn't care, that the Korean war was in the 1950s). Yet the police put her forward as a victim.
That's interesting Jo!
I can find information on the most obsecure prog rock band or an unsigned opening band from the rock archives online with ease. Even bootlegs and newspaper clippings also surface up from fans. If Bowie fans found a fan recording at Salisbury from the early 70s. People should be able to Rolf Harris tour dates or programmes from the Royal Albert Hall.
Barrymore was in a band called Fine China they came from the ashes from Opal Butterfly. Numerous articles about Fine China are online, despite no recordings with Barrymore exist.
Now coming ladies and gents is Groupie Girl by Opal Butterfly.
