helibish Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I have a lovely photograph of us 'bridesmaids' at the wedding of Linda & John. Just called your auntie Linda, my best and dearest friend, and I now I know who you are-the lovely little flower girl, Jane! We must all meet up again when I visit the UK in 2012. Sorry but i am not Jane, i wasn't born when Linda married. The clue is in my Avitar, my name is Helen. Jane is my elder sister, mum had dad had four kids, i'm the youngest.

GlassyGee Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Sorry but i am not Jane, i wasn't born when Linda married. The clue is in my Avitar, my name is Helen. Jane is my elder sister, mum had dad had four kids, i'm the youngest. Nice to meet you Helen. I didn't know your mum & dad had 4 children. Sorry to hear about your dad. I remember him from when I'd go to your auntie Linda's house. I'm not sure how many years between them but 'Jack' was quite a few years older than us. I remember you mum having beautiful red hair, very pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulseroom Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Can anyone remember Mrs Hardy, the wife of the headmaster, she teached English in the top corner room of the wooden classrooms. I remember playing guitar in assembly and someone (I forget who) played a snare drum. It must have sounded awful. Frank Miles lived 3 doors up from me, he played a double headed guitar for Dave Berry, Chuck Fowler lived next door, he was very successful on the club circuit. Can anyone remember the young boy who died with a face cancer? I think his surname was cooper, very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She certainly wasn't used to teaching senior's judging from the books she handed out; Smudger Smith and Ginger Bates at the Dump? Really, these book belonged in the junior school. When Bob Clarke ran the Beighton Miner's Welfare, Dave (Sugar) Grundy and the band would practice in a room above the club. I remember Frank, Alan Taylor and two more fellas who's names escape me but they could have been the original Cruisers. Pat (Clarke)and I were often invited to watch/hear them practice. We were thrilled. We were lucky to be part of the Sixties music experience- I still Love Rock 'N Roll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to watch Dave Berry and Joe Cocker at the Birley, Freechville also used to watch some great bands at the Blue Bell Hackenthorpe and yes I was underage. I used to enjoy Maggies at Swallownest and Mojo Club Sheffield, me and my sister Anne used to dress as Bonnie and Clyde on my sx200 scooter. Very lucky to have been around those years, never to be repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
