Back Street Blue

Not been on here for a while so only just seen this......RIP Al Jackson. Will let my mate Mick Malone know, they were friends and Mick went out with Al's sister (Carole ?) for a while mid-seventies. Sad news indeed.

Here's the Freebee from the 2012 Dayer

Great thread. My mate Mick Malone, deffo, bloke with the porno-tash , seated bottom left in this shot (great pic's thanks). We went to most of the bank holiday dayers in the 80's. Did some of the 90's niters with Ronnie Hanley too...…..happy days indeed.

Loved the Ritz dayers but Mecca August Bank Holiday 1976 was a cracker.......even though Mistura - The Flasher was played every five minutes!!! All the same, an epic event with Mick Malone and Bry Millard for company and travelling in style via Yellow-ways coaches.

so very sad........here's a bit of Winston and Simon on the floor...........

just found out........RIP Winston you will be sadly missed

Cheers Chalky

Nice one Ski..............I also grew up with Ste Smithies (Big Boomer) who you'll also know from the Pineapple. My mate Lemmy was at Seddons, he was Crossley Skins and also a Wigan regular, and still out and about. All the Best mate

That's yer man......United Top Boy too BITD

Yes Mate, grew up with Pete and was out with him and old Royton Skin Gary Riley and Pete "Dickie" Davis a couple of weeks back. "HCHBB" (High Crompton & Heyside Boot Boys-Starks, Witty, Steve Smythe et al were Motown regulars......I was too young to get in.

Went to get tickets for this from Hime & Addison with Wrighty and Mick Malone from Shaw. I didn't get to the event which was the first Niter for them and a few of my other mates and kick-started things for quite a few of us younger Oldham kids.

Merry Christmas folks......and all that jazz..........(Bellaire - Paris City Jazz)......

"Hand it over" for me too
