[quote author=cazzer link=board=nostalgia;num=1059999667;start=0#6 date=08/07/03 at 09:45:23]Are you thinking of Ted Heath & his band, flashman?

Also remember Bob Whatmough & his band?

Bob used to have a grocers on Ormerod St. He used to sell biscuits from those big tin boxes with see through lids. We used to call him "Biccy Bob"

Used to love visiting him - told me all sorts of tales.[/quote]

I think it was Eddie McGarry. There was another Big Band played at Blackburn's St George's Hall.

Ted Heath had the national status.
