No, me too. Spent time there and once had a great post show p*ss up with John Hegley. Love them to stay up!

Be honest though, Blackburn sank like a stone after a good start!

Well after some time away I'm apparently back!

Elder brother and younger sister, I popped out in Guisborough. For various reasons, I've had a lot of calls to banks and other institutions to deal with and of course the "where were you born" one always leaves a pause where they try to figure it out!

Done a couple of theatres, but guessing you won't need 100+ 2K dimming ways?

School was Redcar beach with tinnies. Mary's 6th Form was at Gaskins IIRC, that was a fancy dress. It was 1981, I went as an IRA terrorist, all black, beret and sunglasses and my best mate as Bobby Sands in his pants and a blanket!

Loved a lot of the stuff back then, Slade and Wizzard in particular along with Bolan. Today I still give them a listen, Bolan's "Dandy In The Underworld" and Slade's "Far Far Away" and "How Does It Feel?" right up there! In 2002 I was at the opening night of "We Will Rock You" at the Dominion...

I'd go Bolan too, proud to say the first single I ever bought aged 8 was Jeepster, with record tokens I'd got for Xmas 1971. My elder brothers took me into Woolies in Redcar to buy it! Erm, and Ernie The Fastest Milkman In The West too!

Of course you can't mention Cloughie without Don Revie!

Never been to the races, but then again never really interested. Been to the dogs though, Galveston Island, Texas, as you do! Won quite a chunk of money too, but never been again. To the dogs or Texas!

When I work the Cruise Ship's I used to get all the "Guest Speaker" gigs because, "you know who they are"! I got to do Big Jack a good few times, the man was an absolute Gentleman and a pleasure to work with. Most guest speakers do two shows, as did Jack, his League and England days and ROI...

When I lived in Preston in the 90's, if me and my Missus got a rare night off together we (she) uesd to drive up to Morecambe, get a drink at the Midland Hotel and watch the sun go down over Morecambe bay. Very agreeable!

The last time they played, along with selling T-shirts they were using stencils to spray paint their logo on the back of biker jackets. I went to Futurama 2 in Leeds in early September 1980, and about 70% of the males attending were in biker jackets with the A&TA's logo on the back. Within weeks...

Well in my lifetime, surely it's got to be The Fall at the Rock Garden, no?

Odd when you think back, that the white band and a collared shirt were the only real changes from the 60's to the 70's. Now, it's every season. Must admit, I really liked the Green away kit last, but probably not see it again for a while.
