I have a quick question.... Is this Peppa at the hungry years a scary spanish woman ? If so i was barred too ... standing on a chair i think !

Scary? Yes. Not Spanish, though, as they moved here from Cyprus. Pepa banned a LOT of folk - some for a short while, others, permanently. She had a very annoyingly excellent memory for faces.

I’m talking about 1970s, I’m sure it was blue and white, maybe my memory is going

I can remember No 6 buses being red

Ha, we're the same age as I also left school [Longhill] in 1976 - the long hot summer ....

Never went in the "Years" I was more a [oh what was it called before Busby's - on the sea-front [not Jenkinsons] but part of the Top Rank [not the Suite either]

Happy days and marvellous scenes

"The Rev(olution)" ?

I can only remember Woodbine playing there, with Stu Parks (?) who was/is also a taxi driver?

We used to go and watch Woodbine @ the White Horse in Steyning around '90/91, then in 93 Stu got T Bones back together and they did a 30th anniversary gig @ the Concorde. I still have my ticket.

I saw Stu play with Bob Brookes and Dave ( Borderline) one Sunday afternoon at the Duke about 2 years ago, Stu was still on top form. Sadly he'd not been too well this last year or so and he died in June. Nearly 60 years of gigging.

Aww...that's sad to hear - he was such a cool guy. He always put me in mind of Jon Lord.
Top band, Woodbine, were.

Agreed, top quality lip weasel too.

Dave told me he had terrible trouble with his legs, reason being he would never walk anywhere!

He had a great voice and such a smooth bass playing style.

That’s what took my attention too. I had my 18th birthday do there, and then almost everyone else in my class at BHSVIC did too. 1983. Makes me feel old!
Thursday night, free room hire as long as you had plenty there to drink the beer.

We were probably in there at the same time - a long time ago!!

Conservative?

There's a YELLOW Cortina in the very first picture!

Not sure if it is a Cortina but my father-in-law had a mark2 in post office yellow (spare paint) . There is another yellow one in Grand Parade in one of the later pics.

I have a photo somewhere taken from that hot summer of 1976 of some of the lads outside the Bosun one Saturday or Sunday afternoon. The photo was given to me only a few years ago. If I can find it, big if, I will post it. I can only remember half the names from the faces of that photo. Old age I suppose.

I have found the photo of some of the Bosun lads that was taken in that long hot summer of 1976. I know the names of 7 of the guys in the photo - Steve R, Lee P, Jeff W, Kev B, Boris ?? Kev B and John B. Not sure of the names of the others. I don't even remember the photo being taken. Some of us have just come up from the beach. Remember this is 1976 so don't take the pi$$ out of our hair.
