The NOSMO KINGS went on to be The J TURNER FOUR

Nosmo King was a famous comedian,and took his name from a sign in a railway carriage NO SMOKING

Spot on beechy, my ex-wife served her time at James's Salon in Hassy and he did have the Sandpiper, He later moved to Rishton and had a salon on the Main drag Hermitage Street I think its called, sadly he died a few years ago, about 5 I would think. The last time I saw him he was singing at the Stop and Rest in Ossy with the Accy Rockers, well some of them, that was in the late nineties.
