I knew a guy called Eric Northey from somewhere like Bury or Bolton who had black framed glasses. He was studying English in Newcastle upon Tyne around the late Sixties/early Seventies. Wrote poems and short stories. Did poetry readings at Newcastle's well-known poetry venue, the Morden Tower. I last heard of him around 1974 when he was involved with Amber Films of Newcastle, connected to the Side Cinema and gallery. His name was definitely spelt Northey - I still have one of his stories which I typed out for a magazine - so not sure if he's the same person. Sounds like it, though.
