Hi all, I have it in my (old) head that one of the DJs at the Blackpool Mecca circa 69/70 ish was called Billy Butler or am I going doolally?!

If there was a DJ by that name, was it the same Billy Butler of Radio Merseyside fame who I know was into rare soul / northern.

I know this because in 71/72 when I was at college, he played Darkest Days for me at the Mardi Gras club in Liverpool. 

It was the first time I had heard it.

Hi Gordon, I think in the early days of the Mecca Billy the Kid dj'd alongside Tony Jebb, I never knew his real name, however on my very first visit I remember requesting Billy Butler's The Right track and Tony played it for me.

Billy the Kid is Rod Allsworth.
