A few other names i can reacall seeing there are Dickie Henderson, Joe "Mr Piano" Henderson, Hope and Keen, Jo Jac and Joni, Ken Platt, Jewell and Warriss, Moira Anderson, Kenneth McKellar, Ronnie Hilton and Freddy "Parrot Face" Davies.

I was probably about 7 or 8 the first time i saw Ken Dodd in Blackpool, my lad still thinks he's great and we are going to see him again at the Grand Theatre in November, cant be too many people you could go and see at the Theatre these days 45 years after you first saw them can there?? A true Legend is Doddy!!

Me and the misses were in Blackpool last Summer and went to have a walk around the pleasure beach and were gobsmacked to be asked for £5 each just to have a walk around????? The world gone mad!!!
