I went to see him at Cavendish too , unfortunately I drank too much and ended up with my head over toilet and missed Jimmy altogether ..........youth! I have learned since though , although it did take a few years.

Last time I saw Jimmy was at the Hilden Christmas "Do" at the Dunkenhalgh about12 years ago. He told my mate's wife to p**s off when she asked for an autograph after the show. He was still superb though.
