Kenny Spence Memorial

[purist]

I've just found some old photo's, and amongst them are some from the memorial Niter held in Kenny's name. Pretty sure it was at Maxim's in Wigan, but what I want to know is when was it ? (the other photo's it's with are mostly 1980's, but I thought it was later than that ?)

Would love to see the photos!

I can't remember when the memorial nighter was but I do remember Kenny quite well.

He was DJing at the Beachcomber well before the Casino nighters started.

yes i was there as well i think that night was around 82 your correct . but i had no idear it had anything to do with a memorial for kenny or canot rimember . kenny was a top bloke and deserved a lot more recognition than he got ,if he had lived longer he would have gone on to be one of the best, as i rimember he was a man of few words always played whatever i asked for .

Yep 85, Maxims, most emotional part of the night for me was when someone played Walk With a Winner, the atmosphere was absolutely electric and brought tears to my eyes.
