Andy Holt and Pink Floyd and T,internet Pals
While in Blackpool we met up with some internet pals and went in the Marton Mens Institute (methinks one of the last bastions of Working Mens Clubs that were hugely popular in the 50,s 60,s and 70,s sadly a lot of the very popular clubs have now gone ,Appearing at the club was Andy Holt who does a fantastic show around Pink Floyd Music (Equinox Pink Floyd Tribute) and if appearing at a venue near you please give him a look Im sure you ill enjoy as much as I did. Background graphics are superb and to add to the electrical ambience coloured laser beams are added to give the show a very appealing look .Through FB I have got to know Andy and he is a very talented lad with a matching great voice,I had chance to catch up with some pals and the evening went very smoothly (except for a nosey lady who kept complaining about everything ! she was obviously ignored>Competing tatoo,s became the entertainment during Andy,s and I,m afraid my 2/6d swallow tat from 1958 looked a little sad !! Great night tho ending in the obligatory very English cup of tea and bed by Midnight,Graham had great difficulty seeing the show even with his specially made thousand pound glasses….Andy Come to Australia mate
Family and a Feast of Fish n Chips and other stuff
On this day we met up for our Thornton/Cleveleys members of our family for a fish and chip dinner (here in the North of England where I was raised dinner is known as Tea) and what a veritable feast it was ! Marie was pleased about the gathering as the eldest boys live away or at University,We swapped various stories on our travels and we are pleased to have met up with the grankids after the delicious meal we sank a few in the Bay Horse conveniently position across the road from the chippy.We are to meet up with the young ones at Bllackpools Comic Com and it is a day out we are looking forward to,stay tuned for hopefully some great photo,s
PlayPics
I have acollection of pics taken at various times on different subjects and have decided to “blog” them rather than stash away in my catalogue of pictures .One is a wrought iron light I made for Ramsden Pub in 1962,singer is Johnny Duffy a well known Club singer doing a turn in the pub he is also doing a short appearance on the North Pier as being a family friend.The berries,dog and spa are spur of the moment family pics and of course the main reason we are here to see my younger surving brother (3 of my brothers are long departed) Sad times but we working on that.Henry is the loveable dog and the 3 Irish pubs are taken by Annie
