Great Weekenders as you know Simon - Remember a particular Sat night alcoholic session with you! Alex celebrating 40th Up North Weekender this year - that is some feat! If I was going these days it would be the B-Bar for me I reckon..

P.S. If any one had met Big Jim they would'nt forget it!

Wouldn't like to see you wind up on the losing side!

Look forward to meeting up with you there.

I was round his last for the World Cup, still see him at the Weekenders and my sporadic trips up to Newcastle and Durham - he's fine.

I spent a good deal of time with Sam when he was over for these varying events, a lovely man and some of the tales he span from bitd were an eye opener.

Has anyone any news about him of late?

I was there with a few fellow South Walians, brilliant times

Hello Simon

Have sent info on Big Jim Dunn on your Rock City post.( 1st post, made a pigs ear of it). Myself, Peter Docherty, Jim Dunn, Billy Davidson and many others from Scotland were in attendance. Has anybody got any footage of this wonderful gig?

Cheers John Kerr

Somehow I missed this thread first time round.

I went to those weekenders..they were great! I remember the Sam Dees one well as will anyone who went as 99% of the audience came over all emotional!

I was also friends with James 'Big Jim' Dunn...had a coffee table that he made until recently! And Peter Docherty at al who I hope to see this Thursday at Independent Movement at Plastic People.

Great weekender only one at that weekender at Morcombe before moving to Southport, Fraser Dunn is now a regular with a load of the Scottish crew at Soul Essence Gt. Yarmouth.

I still have the chair Sam Dees sat on when he came off stage and sat for a good hour signing photos etc. Have all the programs and remember Gerald Alston being live there as well, those sodding ducks kept everybody awake.

The Man in Black

Remind me was that the one that Ian Clark and a few others had Dave Thorley looky Liky wigs on. Yes I was there

My DTLLW was set off very nicely by a hideous yellow dress shirt (with ruffles) and a bolero jacket that was at least a size and a half too small (and I wasn't anywhere near, then, the size that I am now, so its previous owner must have been as emaciated as Amy Winehouse).

It was a great weekender, apart from the fact that we had our chalet door kicked in by, I've always suspected, the people in the opposite chalet, presumably for playing 1940s hillbilly records - very loudly - while we were getting ready to go out.

Big Jim Dunn - top man, by the way. We shared many a trip to the bagel shop post-"Norfolk Village", back in the day. If you're out there, Jim - I will tell you this, boy, I'm just off to the Henley Regatta...

Best Event Ever...Massive record selection too...I used to spend £500 + on tunes every time.Remember turning round and bumping into Man Utd then new signing Andy Cole.He was there with Razor Ruddock
