Sue and Koolkat - I think Torquay was the place in the summer in those days. The Compass Club, the Yacht and the Mexican bar ( I remember this place because they had Eddie Kendricks Keep on Trucking and TSOP on the jukebox)
I remember a place ,called the Castle I think, where I saw Sweet Sensation and I'm pretty sure the Real Thing too.
Four months of drinking Natch cider for breakfast , dinner and tea my stomachs never recovered.
Cheers
Manus
