Will you be wearing white Dave ??

On opening night, we travelled dodwn from Blackpool, I had no idea where, why or what we were doing I just followed someone else to be honest I don't remember much of it. I do remember other nights though including grabbing all those girls who'd come down (or is it up ?) from the Gloucester area (I had no idea where that was back then - I thought it was somewhere near Wales :-) This blonde bird, forgot her name, had used so much hairspray on her bonce it was like she had a crash helmet on Good kisser though If I'm not mistaken the Torch was only open 1 full year as a NS all-nighter but it's impact is probably as great as the other "Big Three" (Wheel, Mecca, Wigan) Boy!! there was some good stuff played there dude................

If you're stuck for a venue how about our factory in China !!! Hansen Wind Energy Drives Co Ltd Huaihe Road, Beichen Hi-Tech Ind Room 410, The Torch Building No 5 CN-300410 Tianjin CHINA

Wonderful memories,you can erase the building but not the great nights had there

Is she gonna be there ? I have to leave on the 9th Shame,I have a bum sniffing story about Rose Batiste, probably best posted on another forum

That's a shame thought I'd pick up window frame on the way out !!

I will be there !!

Was thinking the same thing "where is that film?"might bring a new meaning to expression " it's in the can"

What day(s) is/are that ?

Rumour has it Dave Rivers is the "Best Man"

Johnny Redpants says he's going, it's worth going to to see him, hear him, smell him, touch him

Sounds quite awful Pete I pray you'll get some satisfaction and retribution. Chris Lalor

Using the last of my airmiles to whisk me in from sunny Brussels, can only stay 6 days but looking forward to it

Me too...................... although me mates that the prefect and vice house captains badge were a bit out of order...........

Maybe he can buy Kenny Burrell's Frank Wilson then

You know, is it that important? Meethinks not, the NS scene is about more than 1 record, albeit a cracker.

Halcyon days................................agree with the Jerry Cook single, it was a monster in it's day lad Are you still in touch with all of them ? Chris L
