Played all over the Lancashire area including Bury Palais and Princess Ballroom; The Boneyard (Bolton); Beachcomber (Leigh and Bolton), Beat City and Oasis (Manchester); Catacombs (Oldham) plus the usual pubs like The Canary Inn, Little Lever and The Grapes Bury, Severn Stars at Heywood.
 
Four-piece band with Dads as roadies and all initially started going around in an Austin A40 and a Mini Van until we saved enough for our Thames Trader Van suitably covered in lipstick signatures! All this and average age 16!
 
Can remember rushing home from school to do the gig with the Cymerons at the Oasis as we had to be in Manchester for 6.30pm.

I was the next drummer with The Strangeways, taking over from Frank Garrett. We loved playing at Bury Palais and had a good following there.
