Memories
I used to work at The Blue Note when John Fogel owned it. Pat Dempsey (ex Ivans Meads) worked there and managed a group, can't remember the name but the lead singer was called Tony and I remember going to the Cavern in Liverpool with them, also to the recording studio at Nield & Hardy record shop.
I also met Viv Annis there who married Ian Starr. His dad had a hairdressers on the corner of Whitworth St and Princess Street called Lou Starrs and was well known.
Viv and Ian lived in Withington and Didsbury and always had a full house.I went to his 30th birthday and there were several well known people there. When I worked at the Blue Note the DJ was called Les and later it was Dave Lomas and Dave Phillips."

The Blue Note was just a great place to sit and come down after being in the Wheel all night. It was dark and warm and nice. When it closed we use to go to the Top 20 which was nothing like the Blue Note or the Wheel.
I have some great nights thinking of the good times in the Blue Note and the Wheel.
PS went there to wait untill it was time for the train back to Carlisle, which cost me 13shillings and 9pence return, half price of course.
