Accrington Cavern

Anyone remember Accy Cavern when soon to be famous groups used to perform?
What happened to my friends, Jimmy Lightbown, Tony Bikerstaff and Paul Mackey?
Remember the Wheel in Manchester?
So many memories and questions .
Who'll take pity on an expat so far away from the best part of Lancashire!

I remember the Cavern, also remember seeing Long John Baldry there Cashy.

You and me would seem to have spent part of our misspent youths in the same places.
