How sad is this,have known Gary for so many years and have only ever been such good friends,Went round to he and Piddys room a few years ago at Prestatynn and had breakfast and a fuckin good laugh and only the other week bumped into him at Thorne(he was on form as usual) on the 28 of august we became Facebook friends how ironic.Bless you my old buddy and thanks for your true friendship over the years and Piddy bless you too,try and be strong at this so sad time..Sweet Memories.and much love.Gilly and Nicola

Thanks you fellows it would be nice to hear what a twat i might of made of myself

This is so sad,what a great man with so much tallent,with the greatest of respect Bob say hi to Jameson,two of the men that not only played our music they created it

I think that could be his penis (smile)

Make us have it John

Thats true Chalky but as hard as he was he was killed i think in the 70ts said hello to his sisters one time as they came past D Hamiltons house on roller skates

Thanks for putting this up me old mate,hope everyone enjoys just as Dean,Jez,Nicola and myself enjoyed doing it

No i cant,i dont have a copy but Deans going to provide one after the weekend

They are very sweet words and i thank-you,its always a shame that the people who are the stars never got what they should of $$$$$$$$

Might be wrong here but i think the guy who ran the Yeoman was called Mel,he and his wife lived in Willington,i remember he was having problems getting the equipment down to Mackworth so as i drove my dads moggy van at the time he asked me to lend a hand( i did)If i also remember Hector used to pop a long and play a few harder core northern sounds.The Derby Evening Telegraph used to print the Yeomans top 5 northern chart on the entertainments page of the paper.I also think Mel owned a small club in Derby he may of bought The Blue Note from Dave Milton ?

Yes mate he was the manager and before that he worked at Nottinghams Selecta (he was known as Hector at Selecta)

Hi Mak,i was told recently hes back in Derby not dead sure,I remember i went to his 21st held in the Sadle bar at the Willington House Hotel(no longer there)

Not knockin it in anyway its a truely fantastic record,bought my first copy for £14 at a Bedford (by the river) nighter many moons ago,been lucky to have found 2/3 copies in the more recent times should of held em back me thinks.Enjoy whoever won or wins it.

Met Belita in 85 and what a bundle of joy she was,full on in a nice way and very pretty too,yet another sad loss from the people who made the music we live for.R.I.P.

Think im right in saying John was Colin and Shirley Woods from Yorkshires best man on their wedding day?

Yes i met Ann a few times,i remember Barbara( orig Staley Bridge)wife of Robert Stevens Derby was always telling me the tricks they used to get up to in the 70ts.R I P Ann

Its a great record,been after one for a year now,do you have a spare?

Yes i remember going to a few of them,bought Tomangos for £14

Well ive read it and it is brill,he never ceased to amaze me on the many occasions i spent time with him and Susan his wife,the cleverest guy ive ever met in my life.Now thanks to you in your very educational maner youve done the business and documented it for all to read(btw me and Tats have some movie footage taken in 1990 at his house)

I loved him too just as many did (bless ya man)
