Hi Jackie I remember you fairly well although I think you first came to my attention in the Kay Gee Bee. It's always interesting to hear how some of the older rockers are going on although I'd still like to know what happened to Maggie the mod.

As far as leaping around on the dance floor goes I was always more of a sit on a seat and bop away there. However I know Bob Maltby the DJ used to find my requests for some of the less popular ttracks [shall we say] annoying as the floor would clear and then I had room to move.

Bob liked Quo just like Ken liked Jethro Tull, Russell liked ACDCThe Bailey Brothers liked anything that was popular and Les, well I'm not sure what Les liked but he certainly liked it LOUD.

Bob had an extremely varied collection of albums and singles and when he was DJ'ing in the Saddle on West street I used to ttry and ask for something he hadn't got with only limited success.

Hi wallbuilder

great to hear from somebody nearly as old as me who remembers me from KGB rather than penthouse. Were you a punk rocker by any chance????? coz I remember the dance floor clearing rather rapidly when pretty vacant or god save the queen came on. Soz can't place you but did I know you to talk to.? N les used to play lots of Deep Purple, Rainbow, (rather think that was played for shirl's benefit coz boy she could dance) lynard Skinnard, ACDC cud be wrong but yes it was always loud. But I thought that was how heavy Metal was supposed to be played. Les still does play lots of deep purple etc In Nelson downstairs bar Sat night So if you in at sometime n can recognize me come up and say hi jackie
