This sounds like it’s about Emmett Till who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955. His murder became a significant moment in the civil rights movement in USA.

Great stuff. Hope your condition continues to be effectively managed.

Got to be a close call, Kev, between him and Ron Banks but I’ll probably agree with you on Wee Gee.

Amazing sets. Kudos to all involved

Sad news indeed. So grateful for the music and so glad that some well deserved recent success was achieved with Ten-63 “I’d rather hurt myself” will never not be in my top 5.

The point about false negative or positive outcome of a PSA test is well made. There are now a number of alternative tests - PSE being one of them - but not sure if this is available in UK. My PSA was 348 when diagnosed so no real doubt about my condition. A biopsy and scans only confirmed that cancer had spread beyond the prostate gland. Having a PSA test can be potentially problematical but perhaps any perceived controversy isn’t whether there are any benefits at all in the test, but whether the benefits outweigh the harm.

Just sat here in San Jose, Costa Rica, musing about how being diagnosed with incurable prostate cancer, actually provided me with the opportunity to see life from a different perspective. I’m in my 10th year and probably beaten expectations. In that time I’ve become a grandad to 2 beautiful girls, something that I thought might not happen in my lifetime. I’ve travelled extensively and regret nothing about how life has turned out. Anyhow, given that this twat of a disease is now up there amongst the most common cause of cancer deaths, perhaps men of a certain age need to be reminded that signs associated with prostate cancer symptoms are not readily dismissed as being age related. Screening does not take place in the UK put PSA tests can be offered on the NHS if a GP thinks symptoms warrant it. There is significantly more awareness of the disease than when I was diagnosed but there is no downside to prompting you guys to be vigilant. You owe it to yourselves.

Long time in the making memorial event for two well known members of the scene,, who were taken from us way too soon. Billy Ball and John Atkinson were stalwarts of the Northern scene, Billy from the early Wheel days and beyond, John from the Mecca and Casino years. Friends and associates to come together for a few hours on a Sunday afternoon to listen to some classic sounds from their eras and reminisce about the times spent in their company. Please note this is not a vinyl event, just sounds that hopefully people will enjoy. Event is free and some food will be available from 5.30pm/6.00pm onwards. Donations will be most welcomed - proceeds going to Prostate Cancer Research and Alzheimers Society

My first game was Blackpool away 16 September 1963 so definitely didn’t see his debut. He didn’t play that day and we lost 1-0. Thankfully there were so many games where he played, scored and celebrated with the that iconic one arm raised gesture.
