Thanks for the heads up. Russ is a top man in my books. Stuart Maconie is excellent value. Both Wigan men, I’d expect them to do justice to the subject.

The show is about the photos Francesco Mellina took at the last night, not sure which last night. It retraces some of those who are in the photos I believe.  Russ probably does what he normally does and take all the credit. 
 

Waiting for it to appear on iplayer.

So - is this going to be shown on a Northern TV spot after the One Show .. looking through the guide here it’s “Inside out London” at 7.30pm Monday .. 

Got to persuade the other half to move back up to Chip butty territory .  

 

Iplayer catch up ...  

Chip butty. Not had one of those for years. Need a chip pan or deep fat fryer first though.  Warbies extra thick n butter with lashing of salt and vinegar.  Mmmm.

I think it's a segment on that Inside Out programme, here it seems to be called "Inside Out West Midlands", I think they add a few local stories. This is from Richard Searling's Facebook.

Cheers for that list Chalky, I must have missed out there, I went to The Final oldies nighter, then the end of an Era nighter, then two more .I cant remember dates.  Remember the place being even scruffier than usual at the last two I went to, cant remember if M's was open, probably not and the numbers were down.

Just watched it nothing new really good list Karl I was at the end of an era night but can remember feeling  cheated when other nights followed ! The place should of had one last night end of and then we all should of moved on ! 

The thing that often saddens me the most when I look back is not only the romantic view of the dancers that was a very small part of it in my experience but also you rarely get a view on how much the music really meant to the punters that visited weekly ? 

For every 3 before eight there was a George Kirby Moses Dillard Billy Hambric etc but still Frank Wilson etc etc !  Such a good time for many had been sanitised mis represented and twisted to gringe worthy proportions for the benefit of the few and that is not what the place represented ! 

Baz. So true my friend.  It also made us the people who we are now for better or worse.   And was the start of many friendships that are still going strong now and a love for this music that has never died
