Re: Jazz Club

wow - a coming of age it was at the jazz club! first introduced to cherry vodka (vishieuska or something) by stew hartley. riverside jazzband (fred and his brother melvyn), impressing the girls from the catholic grammar in ossy with a packet of disque bleu which used to last a month. once walking back home stopped by cops who asked (ever been in trouble before?"..."before what?" I asked cheekily which didn;t go down too well. still had the disque bleu fags when saw wayne fontana.mindbenders at con club-fab!

Re: Jazz Club

Alan G I use to smoke Disque Bleu, brought loads back from various caving holidays in France. I also saw Paul Simon at the Wednesday night Folk Club I can't quite remember the name of the LP he was selling, but it was just before he teamed up with Garfunkel(not sure if I've spelt that right?) Any one remember the Oldham Tinkers?

Re: Jazz Club

Cheers Flashman, Paul Simon also asked if we'd mind if he did a few songs with one of his mates, I'd like to think it was Garfunkel but maybe that's just wishful thinking. Anyone out there remember who the other guy was? This was also around the time Accrington Caving Club was going, they use to meet in the Black Abby, most of the local cavers and climbers generally turned up at the Folk Club on Wednesday night. On our coach trips up into the Dales the we use to sing Irish Rebel songs until the troubles, that and rude rugby songs.

Re: Jazz Club

long time after earlier posts, but i remember the accy jazz club with great affection. where else could you go aged 17 and get served a vodka vybrova (?) cherry vodka which my great friend stewart hartley turned me onto. music from the trad lads - melvyn and his bro on drums and chance of a snog after!
I'd love to know where my love of that time patricia of rishton is now.
