The Lakeland Lounge! Forgotten all about that, Willow. Folk night on Wednesdays, rock night on Sundays. Don't recall Harewood Magna, but I remember a boy/girl duo. The girl was Sheila Holt who I went to primary school with and the lad was Dylan Jones whose dad taught me chemistry at AGS.

Re: Jazz Club
 

Me too The Lakeland Lounge, I think Champion Jack played there as well, Wyn, the spinners used to sing Dirty Old Town as well, and the other what was the title?, Working on the Railway ( Philamehoorihay something like that) By the way anybody know Pete Watson.

Anybody remember what brand of beers were on tap, Bet Cashman does .

Re: Jazz Club
 

Not Dylan Owen?

He was/is also a folk singer, and his Dad Winky/Blinky Owen also taught at Accy Grammar School.

Re: Jazz Club
 

That's the feller! Why did I say Jones? Cheers, Gary.

Re: Jazz Club
 

Dylan's Mum Nell died recently, she was a wonderful woman, a Christian and socialist and also a teacher like her late husband. Dylan sang at her funeral and is still going strong.

Re: Jazz Club
 

Sorry to hear that. Winky was a kindly sort of bloke (unlike some others at AGS!). He was "enthusiastic and enjoyed his subject", according to Professor Bill Clegg, one of the UK's leading experts in Crystallography. And he was too, but, sadly, not much of his enthusiasm rubbed off on me (which was my fault, not his).

Sorry for the thread wander (again!).

Re: Jazz Club
 

I worked emptying Ossy bins with him in the summer of '72 (I had just done my 'O' levels at the time, so it was a student job); three years later, I was in Amsterdam, on a very wet August evening, sheltering from the elements in a shop which sold items of an adult nature, when in he walked, also taking shelter from the vicious downpour. It turned out he was working in a folk club round the corner, as artist in residence...yep, many of glasses of frothy Amstel were supped in the following week or so.

Re: Jazz Club
 

I don't remember Harewod Magna either. I know we probably didn't appreciate it at the time but some of the top folk ad jazz musicians of the 60's game to Accrington.
I also remember going to see Ewan MaColl at Ossy Town Hall - I think that was in about 1971.

Re: Jazz Club
 

I knew some of this lot as well. Me and "Yerself" were in the same year as them at school. One of 'em managed to kill himself falling off a roof and the rest disbanded, although by the early '80's one of the others was in a boy/girl band, which I think, had a top selling single. I won't give any real names away.

Re: Jazz Club
 

I remember the jazz club with many fond memories.does anyone remember Tom Robinson and a guy called Rufus?They formed a blues group for a while. A french sounding name, something like Le Faulves.Diz Dizly was another great turn.
