No, I think that was later.

We used to meet in Blackburn to catch the bus to Wigan, had to change buses at Chorley.

Looking at these photos makes me think that the drugs must have been fecking good back then, no drug free man or woman would dress like that surely - fantastic!

Bottom pic,leaning on the lads shoulder(top right) looks like Paul Bailey ex hubby of Clair Shard.

Hi Geoff, yes indeed it is Paul.

On the same photo are brothers Pepe and Tony Rocko.

Tony is still around and Pepe lives in Italy.

Can't remember the names of the other two.

Loads of fond memories from those days, including:

Gloria Jones's patting me on the head as I sat on the stage watching her sing- haven't washed my hair since!

Watching Linda & The Funky Boys, transfixed by Linda's see-through top as she danced around the stage!. Come on!! - I can't have been the only lad to have noticed that - can I?

Wigan pasties!

Walking round the balcony an a sea of wall-to-wall chewing gum.!

Discovering the 'getting off at Ince trick'' to avoid the mad dash across the track, over the station wall (usually pursued by guards). You could also get a bag of chips on the walk in!

Buying weekend return tickets from Leeds for £3.25, then jumping the train to claim a refund on my unstamped ticket the next morning.

Richard S playing Cecil Washington for the first time (I think he played it three times that night).

Thinking ''what the f*** is this sh***e' whenever Brian Hyland, Tim Tam etc. etc. were played.

Talking of Brendon, any idea what he's up to, last I heard he had stopped going out due to bad back problems.

i seen him a couple of months ago. he,s is substantially improved, still uses a stick to walk now and then but ten yrs ago you wouldnt have thought there woas ever goin be any improvement in his mobility. He was quite chipper. just seen that photo of you dave , Imagine the cheek of that bloke who said you look like Keith Chegwin !!! if he,d said that to me i,d have played pop.
