Yes, my son has also ended up at Hull uni, the whole club has been redeveloped and it’s a full on night club. Very different to how it was back then!

I remember the Link Bingo from The Piper Club on Newland Ave, Hull, ....it was a bit of a student hangout on a Sunday lunchtime back in the early 90s,....why they tolerated us students, I've no idea, must have been all the 20p life memberships that got paid every week, repeatedly...anyway, woe betide anyone who spoke during the bingo, you'd be outside in no time.... It was Phoenix Nights on steroids! Drums and Hammond backing up Debbie from Doncaster who in the words on the compere "had come to take her clothes off for you, but remember, lads, no touching", then Brian, a 60 year old regular with the thickest milk bottle glasses, would get up and perform amongst others, 2 Unlimited's There's No Limits again to the sounds of resident drum and organ duo. All that came flooding back when playing a social club in Wigan only a couple of years back, furniture dating back to the 70s, half time bingo and a meat raffle. When a band member's wife asked at the bar, what sort of wine they had, the answer was "Both, red and white".....happy days!

Suede in Liverpool tomorrow. Might be a bit odd in an all seater but their Albert Hall Manchester gig earlier this month was fantastic.

Hi, Award winning 10 piece band playing classic 60s and 70s soul music now looking for a committed and exceptional bass guitarist, who has lots of stage presence and a genuine love of the music to join us as we prepare for our 2022 gigs. We aim to gig at least twice a month on average, and rehearse fortnightly (sometimes weekly) in St Helens. A music reader would be a bonus, but not a show stopper if not the case. Own transport and pro gear however is essential. Auditions will be held at Catalyst Studios, St Helens on the evening of Wednesday 12th January. If this appeals to you and you want to throw your hat in the ring, then message me and I'll send you further details.

Thanks, I think he is Burnley way which might be a tad far but I'll make contact with him - appreciate the suggestion

Hi, I'm an experienced keyboard player looking for beginners' (in terms of technique) lessons. I can read music, play by ear etc but I'd really like to understand the basics of bass technique before I pick up any more bad habits. Probably more into the soul / funk stuff so in an ideal world would like a tutor who shares the same taste but I enjoy playing music in most styles. COVID permitting I'd prefer face to face lessons. Thanks in advance Dom
