Some of gigs remembered:

• And lots of clubs throughout the Northwest.

Tony also played solo as Tony King for agent Bunny Lewis.

"When I was with Bourbon Street Beats (which we soon shortened to Bourbon Street) we opened for a new band called The Nashville Teens.

It was at the big theatre on the A6 on the roundabout into Manchester from Stockport. I believe it was called the Apollo?

The sign said - The BOURBON STREET BEATS also The Nashville Teens.

They refused to go on until someone got the ladders out and climbed up and changed the sign!"
