Poster for “Little” Stevie Wonder at the Mojo Club in Sheffield, 1967

Sheffield, United Kingdom, 1967. 20 x 30 inch poster on heavy cardstock. Some staining and scuffing, pinholes and some tears at edges, fine contrast; overall excellent.. A poster advertising Stevie Wonder at Sheffield’s Mojo Club in October, 1967. Wonder would have been just seventeen at the time, though he had already dropped “Little” from his stage name. The Mojo Club, in working-class Sheffield, was the project of brothers Peter and Geoff Stringfellow; the pair had previously worked as promoters and were preternaturally talented, having booked the Beatles for April of 1962, shortly before the release of “Love Me Do”.[1] Stevie Wonder would be the last live act at the Mojo, as it was shut down by the city three days later on October 10.
