Dont remember that. I remember one night walking a fair way, over a bridge to a club called The Tangerine club and we couldnt get in there either!!!!!

Bump!!!

And I,ll tell you something else. If you went on the coach and you didnt get in..........well what a shit night in Blackpool it was. Dickheads wanting to fight in all the pubs. Hey mate which town you from?...........it didnt matter if you were from Little Boystown in Boystownshire............SMACK!!!!!

Whats a yoot when its at home?

Totally totally agree. I can smell it. Although Ive got to say most of the exitement was just cos you actually got in the place. Them bouncers were tight bastards some weeks. I mean you get in the place one week and then a couple weeks later for no good reason youve no chance of getting to the fookin pay counter. What the foooook was all that about. We use too hide behind each other until we were actually on the escalator . Then...... when you walked into the Highland room....WHOOOOOOSH off you went. Dont drink too much though cos we are off down The Casino later. I would pay good money for one saturday night again, circa dec 73. Yes sir indeed.

You got good use out of that shirt and sweater Ian. Same outfit 12 months apart.

Yeah, I know what you mean about growing up.There were dangerous moments to be had on the scene in those days. I got a right good kicking one of them nights at BLACKBEAT. Twas off a guy who I think used to wear a kerchief around his neck (I may be mistaken) but he looked like a swarthy gypsie like person with thick black hair and sideburns etc. You are right about the girl too. Briony Roberts, short dark hair and always had high platform type shoes. She was a cool chick and a good dancer to boot. Especially when "SEND HIM BACK"....POINTER SISTERS was played. When you start casting your mind back you can remember many things!

It may have said on his licence, "tear down the dotted line" Chortle chortle

Yeah it was BLACKBEAT. Our gang got in to a few scuffles there with the local Bolton dudes. We were from Blackburn and all our girls were Bolton girls at that time. The local lads wernt best pleased. There was a local girl who used to frequent the scene around about this time called Berny(spelling) and one of our crew, a guy called Grevs had the hots for her big time. God he were persistent. She played a cagey game and I dont think he actually got his just rewards!!! Still pisses him off to this day.

WOW!!!! What a double sider. Only just heard it off of Ebay. Brilliant just brilliant.

Wicked.....but funny.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You gotta be taking the piss!!

HEAR HEAR. Lets get some proper interesting queries about finds/tunes/record finding trips etc. You know it makes sense people.

Ian. See post 882. Quick question.

Quick question Ian. Did you actually find/ discover Doni Burdick......Bari Track? That is my one abiding memory of the Mecca. Covered up of course as Lebaron Strings....I miss my baby. I can remember its first play at the Casino still covered up.

You my friend are a shitstirrer methinks.

Absolutely top top notch northern. Up there with all the best. Imo of course.

Sheila Anthony......Livin in love..............Massive ..........Never again methinks.

ra Absolutely foockin spot on my son.................Wigan Casino ran our lifes all week/month/year. Just cos some you lot were too young....tough shit........you missed the best times ever. END OF!!!!!!

Ive mention it before on here, BUT it was foockin massive at the time. I dont care if I never hear it again, EVER.
