1979


Thanks to Linda for sending todays photos for the blog...She tells us when and where they are from....

''Jackie,
Sent you 4 photos you may like to add to the Blog. The first is when I worked in the Piccadilly with George Stewart, the second is the Moby Dick before it was a bar, the third is in the Moby Dick in 1979 - Colin on the right was the manager and I am next to him. The fourth is in the Duke of York, let's see who remembers the faces. I'm Linda by the way (better known as Linda from Manchester).
Be good to see them on the Blog.
Thanks Linda.''

Yes of course you are right, put it down to the glass of wine I had in my hand. Shuggy,last I heard had remarried and was back in Australia. I still keep in touch with Gill Kirk who was his first wife. They lived between Freemantle and Perth and as far as I know Shuggy went back there. Gill is still there. I don't know why I thought someone was referring to Kelly (a girl) I a thick, sorry

I worked as the storeman for a while in 1978 at the londoner/la cala/ Yates. Shuggy got me the job and after a drunken night at the duke Alan sacked me for not turning up for work on time.
