Craig Charles has just been playing Masterblaster by Stevie Wonder. It reminded me of kids night at Tiffs in the early 80's. The Jam, Specials, Motörhead, OMD, learning to dance & snog...

Friday night Tunstall Town Hall Kiddies' Night with Bruno Brooks Wednesday night... Baby Place..... Remember Polyanna's in Cobridge, did Tiffany's become Ritzy/Zanzibar? Arctic Lite, Nut Brown and Cider as a warm up from the Offie, Pernod and Black, ten Consulate and a Purple Heart. I could drink, dance, dodge blows, smoke and snog simultaneously back then.  |

Spooky. I said the same about Masterblaster at Tiffs yesterday, remember hearing it on a Sunday night there as a kid. I rarely went so perhaps it's why it stands out? Odd that tune does though as it wasn't my bag.

Last time I went in I think we'd played Preston (I could be wrong) and it kicked off on the dance floor between some of our lot and some of theirs and carried on outside till the plod turned up So much for being loved up  |

Went back to see the owds in Alsager last week and had a few jars in Newcastle Wednesday.....
Walked down the bank to have a look at Maxims and what do I see.???
A shell of a building, boards everywhere, with just the pink 'maxims' letters on the side of the building. I stood looking at it thinking "my god look at that"
Anyone remember the steam machine?
