    My 1st payslip after tax and ins was £3.67 but that was in 71, i know i was bringing home just over £20.00 in 75 at my 20th birthday. So mid 74 it must have something like £10/£15, but i can,t remember.

    Hi Mick, or anybody can you rermember what your wages were in 74, i know i can,t remember. All i can remember i had more to spend on records in summer than winter (no football). Dave.

    Hi Alan, I don,t think it was the same all dayer, but I could be wrong. I don,t remember being any other acts on that day. They were doing the rounds about the same time, I saw them mid-week in Preston around that time. Yours Dave. Having checked up it was the Top Rank Hanley not Steam Machine were i 1st saw J J Barnes (oh well)

    1st time saw J J Barnes wes at a Steam Machine All-Dayer (late 72/early 73 ?) I missed Maxine Brown at Cleethorps, but caught her act at the 100 club on the thursday night after. Like I,ve already said Betty Wright at Wigan, tops.

    Ya Sean, I had forgot about R S,s birthday do, yet one more great live act. Dave.

    Ya Exciters at Wigan was great but so was Betty Wright. Major Lance, J J Barnes, Edwin Starr and Jr Walker were all great I,ve watched all more than once. Barbara Lynn at the Gala Gran, and Dells at Trentham were both very good. The Ric-Tic revue at the Ritz was one more that comes to mine, but some of the best ones were not at a Northern do. Temps, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Mary J Blige, Four Tops, Maze, and lots, lots more. How can I forget all the acts at Prestatyn over the years some very good (and some not). Nearly forgot all the great Millie Jackson concrets in the 70s.

    John from Burnley was a punk, ex-northen lad, went out with a girl from Bolton. He used to buy some nice sounds before he became a punk.

    Hi Nick, Pat got the Chandlers off Andy Riding at the Spinning Jenny. The Chandlers was a big sound for Andy at Accy Band Club back in 76. Sadly Andy passed away a few years back. Dave.
