GUEST,MARTIN GITTINS Who Remembers the Star Inn, Salford? (20) WHO REMEMBERS THE STAR INN, SALFORD? 07 Jul 12


Did you play at The Legendary Star Inn Folk Club between January 1976 and January 1997?

From my (extensive) records I have identified no fewer than 170 solo artistes, 45 duos and 93 bands who guested there over 22 years. (not to mention the scores, possibly hundreds, who 'did a spot' and whose names were never recorded!)
My aim is to make contact with as many of them as possible, with a view to a reunion

Apart from being interested to hear from everyone I am organising a concert 'A NIGHT AT THE STAR' at St Boniface's Social Club in Broughton, on SATURDAY 20th OCTOBER 2012.*
Of course, it would be impossible to accommodate everyone on one night, and I'm hoping that, from those who come forward, there may be enough to stage a series of concerts over the coming months.
('A Night At The MSG' - a concert we organised last year - raised significant amounts of money and resulted in a great night of nostalgia, and produced a CD of performances and reminiscences from those who appeared on the night. - copies available))

SO: If you are one of the 300+ acts on my list, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH OR, if you know the whereabouts of ANY of the guests, please encourage THEM to do the same. I am happy to take calls on 07760 430 577 or receive messages on mgittins@ntlworld.com

As well as the guests, I want to collect any reminiscences about The Star from audience members and guests alike, with the intention of producing a booklet (as we did with the MSG)

THANKS, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO A GREAT RESPONSE!!

*The purpose of the concerts is to raise much-needed funds for my great nephew, who has a serious chest condition and is seeking treatment at the Mayo Clinic in Chicago.
