Mick the Fed,

Burnley Mecca Sunday nights 69 - 71. A Rosko looka likey who played all the top Wheel sounds . What a guy.

Remember Mick the Fed from the Cats Whiskers in Oldham playing motown and soul in the early seventies. Thought he got the name as formerly dibble?

Why is Mark Dobson called Butch? Anyone?

Apparently he used to wear a belt that the buckle was in the word 'Butch' - Chr*st I hope he doesn't read this, because knowing that is reeeeealy sad!

I always thought it was for tax reasons — It also gives them a ‘Mystique’, but I don’t think they actually choose to use an alias for that reason, it just does (To me anyway)

All the best,

Len (‘D.J Lenard’) :thumbsup:

We were at The Ritz during the 90’s and Ginger walked past us, going towards the decks, Nina said “Is that Ginger Taylor?”….I replied “Mmmm, you may be right there…..he certainly looks like a Taylor doesn’t he?” (All 'dead pan' like) We were in fits for about half an hour — Brilliant! Ain’t it great when one is ‘on point’ at a Nighter?! :lol:

All the best,

Len :thumbsup:

Hi Pete, this Morrissey fan is seeing him tonite at an old opera house in Brooklyn, 29 years, 8 months and 13 days since first saw the Smiths, time flies!

Must be getting near that long since I saw them, Brighton Dome, support act James.

Though I'm not a fan now by a long chalk...

If you take a glance at any phoenix soul club all-nighter (the wirrina peterborough) poster from 1975 you'll see the home team calling themselves spena (gary spencer), smudge (andy smith) and jonah (steve jones), pk& biffo (pete & dave mindem the promoters) and paul donnelly, who bravely went as himself. that's quite an array of aliases, ain't it?
