Hmmm ….I was there :) We walked from Stockport to Manchester with Stockport CND then onto Alexandra Park for the Carnival Against The Missiles gig. Evening gig later on that day in Manchester. Happy Days.. I still have a cassette bootleg of the AP set… bit of violent gig considering it was a...

Sad news . You can tell we’re getting on when all our old musos start to fade away. David Johansen the other week.. no more NYDolls left.

The Abominable DrPhibes, Dr Phibes Rises Again, The Monster Club, Theatre Of Blood… he really hams it up!!

Any of the Hammer horror films for me. If they have Michael Ripper in then all the better. Also the Dr Phibes films with Vincent Price are brilliant.

Ha,ha.. my old school mates ended up doing backing vocals on their first album and security at their gigs. I saw them many times in the ‘80’s in and around Macc’. Even in the back of a flat bed lorry in a field after they got banned from playing venues. I used to visit their digs/ shop ( on...

Yes, that’s the one. Derek Davenport ran the health shop you mentioned. Also sold home brew equipment.

Great chippy back then just around the corner on Garden Street. You name it they sold it. The couple that ran it also had a cafe up by the canal in Adlington. Sadly no longer there.

We still have one in Macclesfield, just called in.

Cockett & Sons? Great bakery too.

Tripe and cow heels was a favourite of my Grandpa in the 70’s. I remember going to the local butchers to buy it with him. Rabbit is one of my favourite meats but it’s nigh on impossible to buy from the butchers around here even though I live in a rural county and there’s hundreds of the little...

I love liver and onions.. prefer white to black pudding.

That was the first one that came to mind when I read the question.

Love them.

We were at the same gig if you were at the Who Wants The World Tour at the Apollo in 1980. Great gig and at that time they had all those previous albums to pull songs from for the set. My mum knitted me a JJB black sweater with one white arm when Black and White was released :)

… they did do one brilliant cover though.

I have a bit of a dilemma about the Stranglers. I loved the first 5 albums and they were the second band I ever saw live but then I gave up on them after some horrendous live shows ( especially with the crap brass section) and what I thought were really poor albums. I didn’t like the cover...

I have loved Badfinger for many years. Probably ingrained in my brain from the early 70’s before punk came along and took me away, along with T Rex, Sweet, Glitter Band and Mott The Hoople etc. There’s a great documentary about them but if any band deserves a biopic to tell the truth it’s them.

Army and Navy or Surplus shops… kept me dressed when I was younger :)
