Roy C...a class record and one that got into the charts back in '66, largely on the strength of club plays.

Can't take all the credit Alan, I'll send you a site through Facebook where I find quite a lot of 'oldies'

Last memory of Jimmy was going to a house up West End Ossy the morning after an all nighter at I think Ace of Spades Whalley,another guy with us was nicknamed Cronnie(possibly Cronshaw).We all wore Crombie coats...

Hi Susan,purple hearts and black bombers were around in those days and if I had taken them it would probably account for my not being able to recall the year-but I kept away from that scene so I am just going to guess at 1970 and say my memory is wearing cos I`m 59!
