After the colin campbell the Oldham Tinkers moved to the Oldham Hotel in the late 60's /early seventies.there were lots of clubs around the area.The Nelson on Union Street remember seeing Harry Boardman there about 71/72. Then there was the Bath Hotel also on union street run by Bob lees and others -remember seeing Tim laycock there. The Sergeant-at- Arms on King Street ran a club for a long time although it probaly finished in the early 80's I also recall the Railway at Hollinwood run by the Hometowners.The Hometowners are still gong strong and are in concert at the Playhouse 2 in Shaw next Friday 29th January
