Although I was born in Blackburn, I moved, with my parents, to Sheffield when I was 14 years old.
I spent much of my time in the Esquire Club. R n B was the order of the day there, with several top names from the U.S. One exception was a local group, at that time known as Vance Arnold and the Avengers. 'Vance' would be about 19 or 20 at that time. Shortly after, he reverted to his real name, and became Joe Cockers' Big Blues. Within a short time, the Big Blues disapeared, and the rest is history (it's all history isn't it)
The other club in the city was The Mojo, owned and run by a bloke called Pete Stringfellow. Wonder what happened to him ?
