Remember one vividly, we got stopped by the school, luckily we had a switched on girl driver ,Fiona, last heard of in Torquay, she told the squad we where going back to college and not going to an all nighter! In the back sat me and Dave Peacock form Chesterfield, (what happened to him?) and we were waving at Grenny from Notts who was being patted down on the pavement, the twat waved back, but the squad didn't realise! What luck, next morning we found an empty bottle on the floor with Riker on the cap and a lot of P****drine. I think someone has a photo of that morning, will chase it up.

Hi Steve didn't o/d, he had a brain aneurysm

Hi Roggert Used to go to Nether Edge Thursdays with Nicky - then it was a yellow Lotus,Ferraris came later and now he his Ferrari dealer, good bloke though, always had gear and went everywhere. Old English in Matlock was the weekend starter for 10 in '72/73, but you where guaranteed to score! Thomo and Steve from Leeds used to be ther every Friday, wonder why?

Hi Remember when he used to play the decks at the Torch and Dodger would put the needle on the record! then he'd play What Would I do the Superiors back to back whith the Tymes version, happy days , wish I can remeber more.

Went to "an evening of soull" at Mexbororough one friday night. can't remember who or what was going on, must have been c 1972, was with harry and met Al Jones, Juggy and Bob Parker all from Rotherham their, plus Janet and Mopsy missus, great night. The jag we arrived in was borrowed, so another adventure went off. Coggy, Jacko and Roomy were evil, but not as bad as the Derby lot!

Hi Roggert, If I am remembering correctly, you wher ecarried out on a stretcher pronounced dead one night, we later met up at Wigan. Obviously not true then !!!!!! Would like to know what happened to Frank and Mopsy. understand Russ died. Shelly

sorry , but after the second show I shook his hand ,I took the black driving glove off and used the left hand,remember, we only worn one, still have it somewhere, will have a look. Brilliant night Apologise if alzeimers has set in. Shelly

To my knowledge, severly affectede that night, Major di two shows, the first recorded, the second not. he sang "You don't want me no more 2 on the second whichisn't on the alum. I actually shook his haned as he left the second show, I changed the

Harry from Heage! I think you mean he was the wheels and cash,not brains,no one had a car at that time!!! then there was that little excercise in Codnor , which we'll not go into. Rip Roper, haven't seen him since Cheshires equivalent of Van der Valk nicked us all at Nutsford. Apart from Derby's good ol' boys, everyone one a gem, what about that thug the "late Cody Hughes" from Stoke, he'd take take everything, as you where witness. One not mentioned who was a star - Desi from Preston, he'd spend half the night in the Torch sitting on the sink in the toilet, room for about 4 max,and take everything apart from 5 smarties, so as not to spoil your night! Having said that, when I was in a very bad way c June 72 he dragged a guy out of the trap so I could spend the next 2 hours throwing up, never did thank him. Shelly
