Just about to do that haha

Yeah - it says that on the YT clip.

Rotherham memories: ....also there's an instrumental called 'Departure' which when I happened on it brought me to tears (and I don't say that often). I've just looked on YT and found it, it wasn't there last time I looked - and reading why it was written I can see why the love went into it:

First Love's a beaut.

Not seen it yet but saw the furore in the music press over his resurrection. I believe he was found in New York and was a construction worker - and when taken back to South Africa in '98 to perform was amazed at the crowd knowing his songs word for word and better than him(remind you of anything?). It seems to be a theme with film makers of late to find the stories behind the unsung hero.

I posted it on my FB page and Brian Rae's too.

Sorry?

I've had this conversation before and I think it was left as I was mistaken - but as my memory serves me there was two weeks on the run where the crowd was so low that only M's was opened. The doors to the Main Room were left open and it was very odd to see a silent and empty Main Room.

Bob on

I've always thought that it's Ike on True Image - too similar.

I'm interested.

My mate Des Mooney used to have his Puffa jacket on in there all night

It's been recorded straight through the M's system and not on a Pifco cassette recorder stuffed at the side of the speaker.

I've sent it to Brian on FB - I hope you didn't mind - I told him that you had put it up.

...and there's the faux wood panelling Bazz - big one, small on, medium one

Evening Bazil

Can see the usual negative comments already getting thrown to an innocent thread. ;0)

Apologies for sketch, at work - did me best given.
