Although I was born in Blackburn, I moved, with my parents, to Sheffield when I was 14 years old.
I spent much of my time in the Esquire Club. R n B was the order of the day there, with several top names from the U.S. One exception was a local group, at that time known as Vance Arnold and the Avengers. 'Vance' would be about 19 or 20 at that time. Shortly after, he reverted to his real name, and became Joe Cockers' Big Blues. Within a short time, the Big Blues disapeared, and the rest is history (it's all history isn't it)
The other club in the city was The Mojo, owned and run by a bloke called Pete Stringfellow. Wonder what happened to him ?

Swedish Rhapsody by Mantovani was the alternative to Victor Silvester. My first record was Via Condios by Les Paul and Mary Ford and he was the first to multi track a record. I also got Answer Me by Frankie Laine before it was banned because he sang Answer me oh Lord and he re-recorded it to sing Answer me my love. And there's also Johnny Ray's Cry and another banned record Such a Night.

Somebody mentioned the Blackburn Mecca earlier. As a teenager, I used to play drums in a group based in Southport. We had a Sunday afternoon gig booked at the Blackburn Mecca. It was the first time we had ever played on a revolving stage. We started off playing out of sight of the audience and then they set the stage revolving to bring us into view. When it stopped, Dougie, the lead guitarist, fell over!
