June 22, 200816 yr Whatever happened to Graeme Ellis.....used to enjoy his spots back in the day. Saw Mick Godfrey at Cleethorpes and I swear he's still got the same specs on, but he looks like he now has his hair done at the same place as the Hair Bear Bunch

Heard recently he was at a Stoke all nighter with Pete Shirley. That would be the recent Cleethorpes Weekender you sited him at Val. I recently attended Boomarang Thorne with Robin Salter and Ady Connelly(Derby), Ady still see's Graeme, he told me he works in Spec Savers.......do we believe this or was Ady joking....um.

I'm just about holding on to what little hair I have left myself Robin. I only just recently put that Time Is Right coat in some charity shop. I should of taken it over to Ibiza for Dave, I did take some early Cut It Out lists over there on one of my visits. I actually spoke to Mr Browning yesterday, he's well as ever. I presume Big Jim is still hibernating in Rickmanworth. You still selling records in Bristol Mike ?
June 23, 200816 yr Author Dunny boy is on facebook , hes got two dogs and yeah he looks like em Oh yeah he said something about Keb . Nice one Simon, I'll try and track him down.

Chris. He asked via the southport forum if I was still in touch with you, he then said about getting your number. Maybe he wants to report on Wimbledon from your front room 200 miles away again.
June 23, 200816 yr Val, Graeme was at the first Lifeline weekender did you not see him there , i spoke to him he said he does alot with his family nowdays and don`t get out much. Dave f........ there's a Graeme Ellis in Goole, runs a modern sort of night couple of times a year....same guy? Edited June 23, 200816 yr by chalky
June 24, 200816 yr there's a Graeme Ellis in Goole, runs a modern sort of night couple of times a year....same guy? I'ld be very surprised Chalky. As Dave F says I hear he just does the family thing now (a bit like me!)
June 24, 200816 yr Yeah hes on my profile geezar ..Of course Robin will be wondering WTF is facebook Facebook is SO last year....
June 24, 200816 yr I'm just about holding on to what little hair I have left myself Robin. I only just recently put that Time Is Right coat in some charity shop. I should of taken it over to Ibiza for Dave, I did take some early Cut It Out lists over there on one of my visits. I actually spoke to Mr Browning yesterday, he's well as ever. I presume Big Jim is still hibernating in Rickmanworth. You still selling records in Bristol Mike ? Mark, Hey, those jackets seemed so cool!!! Say Hi to Dave when you speak to him - many happy memories of him - He was the biggest influence on me in listening to new styles of music for which I'll always be grateful.
June 24, 200816 yr I'ld be very surprised Chalky. As Dave F says I hear he just does the family thing now (a bit like me!) I didn't think it was same guy but haven't been along to the events in Goole either. Just when Dave F said he saw him at Lifeline and Boomerang, two venues not too far from Goole just made me wonder.
