In Accrington my memory place is the Wayside café (opposite Joe Mort's), playing Elvis, Buddy Holly and Lonnie Donegan on the juke-box, drinking frothy coffee and being gently guided by the fatherly hand of the owner, Stan Forber. I was introduced to my husband there, in January 1960 - 3 days before my 17th birthday. :)

Do you remember the preston gang that used to come up joe morts and they fetched a routine dance with them it was great wish i could remember it now it would be good enough for strickly come dancing.

No your not tripping mate I saw them to, I think they called themselves steampacket. Kiki Dee was with them too. It was a great little club but didnt last to long.
