If I have a prob with the comp (rare) I know a man that can.........LOL
  9. Fleetwood Mac played the Union quite a few times in the late 60's early 70's. Kevin (manager @ the Union) used to ring 'em up & ask when they could come up & play. If they had a free Sat/Sun, they would do a gig there.. Great stuff!!

  17. Gordon did indeed buy a club in Derby (called it the Hippo) about 1969/70. He also bought one at Leicester too. I went over to Derby on a Wednesday night for a while. Gerry Gibson Jr was the manager there. Barry died in a car crash but I don't think it was on the way to the club. Sad day that as his brother Gren died the same way a year or so before. The girl you mean was Miney Todd, she did a lot of art work when the former kitchen was turned into the restaurant. I'm sure the club WAS haunted, I had some very strange experiences in there all the time I worked there. A number of people sa

I think therefore that it MIGHT be an idea to just remind members that maybe they should treat others as they would wish to be treated themselves? Engage brain before opening mouth.? BUT....that's just my opinion. I'm sure others have a different viewpoint and it will be inte
  21. Hmmmmm I've tried BOTH Charlies phone No's & they are both disconnected. Gonna try a mutual friend in the US to see if she has heard anything.
  22. I was wondering where Charlie had got to too. I've left e-mails & offlines on Yahoo but to no avail. Anyone hears anything, let me know. In the meantime I will TRY to find his phone number.
