He's mainly in Thailand but moves to other countries (Cambodia, Philapinnes etc)for a bit when his visa expires.

Yeah, it's Sharron who took the photo, but she hasn't been with Tim for years. I still see Suzanne Bloor & Carolyn quite often, Yvonne lives abroad, still see Doris & Annie but they're not together anymore, haven't seen Mary for years. Paul (Pablo) Charlsley lives in Australia, Last saw him about 2 years ago when he was over to see his parents, think they live in Scotland now though. I saw TD recently and amazingly he looked really well.

Photo taken at Phil's memorial do

Apparently Tim Ashibende used to sell records from a back room at the Town Road shop, Keith may have done the same but unless his memory's gone he didn't have owt to do with it officially.

As far as I know Derek owned it & Phil was the manager. Some people have said this was before he was at the Arcade shop & others have said it was after, I would have said before but my memorys not that good. Yeah he used to run a northern night at The Birches Head Hotel, I remember seeing an advert for it in an old Blues & Soul. Before my time though, around about 72 -73 I think. I've been at Wigan a couple of times when he was there, and also Yate at least once, but you're right, he wasn't properly on the northern scene, at least during the time I knew him. When Phil died a few years ago we had a memorial do for him & Derek turned up for that, he wasn't well at the time, not sure if he's still with us himself.

Yeah, bloke with a beard. Saw keith last week & he confirmed it was nowt to do with him

I had my first proper record case from there, still got it but it's cut in half now to make two smaller ones.

Still see Atlas & Elaine now & again, Roz lives in Australia & I havent seen the others far years Cheers Crumb

Yeah, that's me, bloody hate piercings now though. You used to go in the Antelope didn't you?

Yeah that's the shop I was on about, didn't know it was owt to do with Keith though. I used to sneak off work when I was bored and go in there to talk to Phil Oliver, would have been about 76 - 77. Is it later than this when Keith had it?
