Walsh, Tim Walters, Colin Wilcox, Tad Williams, Tom Wynbrandt, Roman Wynnycky, and Napoleon Zivkovic all individually contributed information and/or images to the Blondie Gig List and the Blondie historical timeline.

Michelle Shinn contributes to the maintenance of the source file for the Gig List and is conducting ongoing original research about early Blondie and pre-Blondie history to establish important dates and improve the accuracy of the timeline using information obtained by searching the vintage written record in published works, public repositories, and private collections.
A very special thanks to Michelle for her original research of the New York Public Library's microfilm holdings of weekly periodicals that led to the discovery of the earliest known advertisements for Blondie gigs and to finding a keystone in Blondie history: the advertisement placed by Debbie and Chris in the Village Voice on March 10, 1975 that landed drummer Clem Burke his place in Blondie -- for the past 40+ years.

The published works of: Debbie Harry, Chris Stein, and Victor Bockris; Lester Bangs; Clinton Heylin; George Gimarc; Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain; Roberta Bayley; Mick Rock; Dick Porter and Kris Needs; John Holmstrom; Tony Fletcher; Will Hermes; Cathay Che, Paul Zone, and Allan Metz have contributed important general knowledge, timeline frameworks, corroborative data, and specific information that is cited as accurately as possible within the Gig List.

 

April Kincaid provided the "No Exit" era tour videos and soundbytes.

Heather Ashcraft originally compiled the Radio Station List, with help from John Fehling, Bill Foley, Andy Dunn and Tammy in Boston. Julia Connett, Luther Orrick-Guzman, Dave McManus, Mick Mercer, Mike Morton, and Robert Tuozzo have contributed images for our Gallery features.

Special thanks to Chris Stein, Clem Burke, Matt Katz-Bohen, Paul Carbonara, Jimmy Destri, Kevin Patrick, Tommy Kessler, Leigh Foxx, and Deborah Harry for providing materials, keeping us in the loop, and making and continuing to make the music that inspired the whole thing.
