Wilkys Proffesionals went to Louie who later sold it to me for £18 ,not sure if he kept any of his other records Rugs favourite artist was Linda Jones and he had all her releases and never sold them and did keep a few things like George Blackwell and all the other Smoke releases , made me smile when in recent years folk on here were raving over Keith Curtis on Smoke as though it was a new discovery when Rug had it in the70s and he also had a montclairs - hey you don't fight it at the same time so they were pretty well known in Northants . as far as I know Mick Godfrey still lives in Rothwell

Was over at Louies house on Sunday and he told me of the time in the late 70s when Wilky was labouring for him and Kenny waller there both Brickies , he was constantly laughing and messing about they hardly got any work done , on one occasion he chained the site foremans car bumper to a post and when the guy drove off he was minus the bumper and Wilky was pissing himself laughing hiding behind a wall . another time a Chippy was sitting on Pallet having is Lunch and Wilky drove a forklift up behind him lifted the pallet up to about 12ft and just walked away leaving the guy stranded in mid air with his flask and sandwichs.

Now Sold thanks to those who contacted me

Think the crew that went to Yate that night was Wilky ,Terry Rider ,Mick(Gav) Gavin (R.I.P) ,Rug (R.I.P) ,Mick Godfrey(Corby),Gaz Gepp( R.I.P) myself and a couple of others I cant recall , we also had a guy from Rushden called Twig , driving the minibus , you can imagine the antics on that Journey . It was around that time that Rug and Wilky both sold there collections to fund a record buying Trip to the States . Pretty sure John Manship gave them some places to hit around the Philadelphia area as he was a good mate of them both , the original plan was for Louie (Neal Underwood) to go with them but he dropped out and Steve (Kitty) Wells went instead . Shortly after they returned both Rug and Wilky left the scene .Remember going to Rugs house in Higham just before there trip to the States and buying Don Varner - Tearstained face from Wilky for 70quid and a Ty karim - Lighten up baby - Caramel for £15 .

Just had a look at the photo Manus and that's Kev Roberts D,Jing with Richard Searling seated ,same haircut and build as Rug was in them days so I can see why you thought it was him . I had a great photo which included Rug , Wilky and Mick Gavin in amongst a group of us that went to Yate allnighter in 1980 , ive looked everywhere but cant find it . pretty sure Ive other photos with Rug in so when I find any I will send you copies .
