hi
I forgot to mention the one at the Ashley Hotel in Hale.
Played there one night when the England cricket team were staying there. They were playing a test match at Old Trafford.
There were a number of the Test side in the audience and me and my mate were invited to join the England party upstairs at "throwing out time".
Don't really remember too much of what happened later !!!!!
I missed out the pubs and clubs on the other side of Altrincham that have run folk clubs over the yeras.
The Saracens head at Warburton. Most of the pubs in Lymm from time to time.
The Swan With Two Nicks - The Olde No 3.....I started my "career" there. The Kilton Inn.....that's going back some years !!!!
Memories.......
Mike
