  1. Hi. If you get my books. 'Images of England - Radford' and 'Nottingham Through Time', both of them have Raleigh Social Club and Athletic Club location information in them. You can order from Amazon. Best wishes Chris Richards

  4. Hey chaps if you like my stuff I have a new book coming out on 23 Nov - Nottingham Through Time, published by Amberley. Loads of images of 80s Nottingham on there. Be sure to stock up for Christmas! CR
  5. Oh the Greek was great. They did a great doner and chips, You could also walk into the place from Victoria Street and go out the other side into Pelham Street. We used to go in the Bodega first, then the Corn Exchange, Prince Albert, Corner Pin (always full of codgers), and walk back to the Greek before going to the Palais. Happy days

  11. He's still got The Frog! Yes, he used to call Mick that! We used to annoy John by screaming 'Ey Mazzo' at him from the side of the stage. Wayne once told us a funny tale of being driven to a gig in a van, where the driver had taken Magic Mushrooms!
  12. Wayne is the original undiscovered lyrical talent. I can remember his mum always coming to the gigs at the Imperial, this little old lady standing there with all us lot with spiky hair and leather jackets on.
