Hey John, Do you remember that night at the Wagon and Horses, when Smokey stopped the music and did an half hour stand up comedy spot....unforgettable....i can still remember some of the gags...me and the "old' un" often have a giggle remembering that night. Ah! the Octopus, used to love it down there, particularly liked Philco on a Sunday night, as well as the Sat. dinner jobby. We're really pulling them out the bag here, where do we go next, Wolves Club, Esso, Ship 'n' Rainbow...or maybe even the "Rentasino" (Wednesfield rent offices to the uninitiated) and of course Willenhall Baths.....happy days old mate. See you Friday night Paul

We used to go regularlly, late '80 to '81, on Fridays, and even though the line up was with a few exceptions as we would have the following night at Wigan, it was a real breath of fresh air we made a point not to miss. The atmosphere was far less stressful, and that lounge made for a great place to relax, ok things did later tighten' up, mirrors above toilet cubicles etc...etc...but it was as the result of events. Loved the "modern" stuff it just seemed to get a better chance, with not being restricted to two or at best three short time slots during the night, it was great for our Wolvo modern trailblazers to be with as many like minded folk. Of course the big 60's stuff was also played to keep the Stoke lads happy,(Jeff, Atlas Bob etc...) with Pokes Mad Dog and the Pups c/u going big. Preston Street Dancers, whistles banners 'n' all, did a few heads at first, but added to the atmosphere, lets be fair. Great times, we still often recall with true affection, almost 30 years on. Harpo.....on behalf of all who were there from the West Mids
