Only just seen this - loved t the Mojo (went from being 13) and was devastated when it closed!
I was 12 when we all went up from Owler Lane to Hinde House but still remember the first time I saw Mr Edwards when he gave us all the welcome speech at Owler Lane -telling us we were ‘the cream’ The next time I saw him was when he appeared from behind the curtains that created our makeshift classroom on the stage - our teacher was late in arriving and we were all gossiping and generally messing about. He asked one of us why we weren’t working and he made the mistake of saying we had nothing to do whereupon Mr Edwards started tipping everyone’s satchels up, emptying books everywhere to demonstrate there was plenty we could be doing!!
