Hi Cliff I was a trainee manager at the Southchurch Co-op in tha sixtees and ran the record department(one counter) because no one new about pop music,the manager a Mr Plackett made me order in Jim Reeves records so he could take them home to listen to them and would return them two weeks later. Does any one remember the fire in the hairdressing salon? I remember we filled buckets with water and i started to fill mine from the hot water tap at which point one of the female staff said "don't use the hot water it will make the fire worst"

Remembered it at last 106333

Saturday morning rush at the Imperial down the Medda's for threepence plus you got a free orange.....happy days

Saw Hendrix at the Sherwood Rooms,had no money so sneeked in with a mate via the fire exit stairs

Saw the Kinks at the co-op,remember getting smashed on rum & blackcurrant,urrrrh

Sad to hear about Trev, I lived two doors away and I remember as kids swapping dinky toys for a trolley with him,he got the better of the deal

Does anyone remember Fat Freda's Chippy down Medda's?

Should be in the Bay not the Dock

Me and my mate bought an Itom 50cc bike each from Andy Bone,we must have looked like real wallies on such small bikes

Must have been 68/69 ,they had three lead guitars Jeremy Spencer,Peter Green and Danny Kirwin

Best show I ever saw even to this day was Fleetwood Mac at the Union,sweat was dripping from the walls

Remember seeing the Bee Gees at the Brit,there were only about 10-15 people as it was poring with rain. Read an article about the Bee Gees and they remember that night because of the small crowd and their dressing room(downstairs where the rowing boats are stored)was flooded

Does anyone remember Saturday nights at Roy and Mary Knights Dance School above Burtons in Hockley?
