Hovis, Anyone Remember Him From Wc
Think I remember the John drevars connection, he had proper curly hair cut quite neat and his mate was smaller with a biggish nose and always flogging a copy of benzine vot. Always felt dubious of em whenever they looked at my box, proper pair of sharks lol

Hovis, Anyone Remember Him From Wc
I remember a guy from Wigan 78ish who I bought a chapter 5 issue from with no centre, the record was massive at the time, can't even remember how much it cost me, all I remember is the guys name was hovis and he hung around with a smaller guy ,I think they were from Leeds maybe Sheffield way. They were always in the record bar at wc doin some hustling and trading bigger sounds, basically try to have people over, any clues to who they were!, it's cool don't worry I'm not after any money back or redemption after all these years lol. Just curious about who they were

Facebook, I Went To Wigan Casino
. Think this was my point from the start, I'm a bit of a private soulie. I'm not up for going on fb and shouting from the rooftops iwtwc that's not for me,if other people want to do it that's up to them. Think I live in the past and still think its an underground scene and don't feel the need to broadcast to all and sundry that iwtwc

Do you think it's cool or just a tad naff
