Hi Les,

Yes, I remember you and your mate coming to the Volunteer. Unfortunately, we couldn't rely on the room being available - sometimes we would turn up and find that some other group was occupying it.

The Millstone ran from around 1972 to about 1978 (if I remember correctly). It was a great club and I can't remember why it fizzled out now (people moving away I think).

I last saw Steve Mayne at Terry's funeral. Unfortunately, he doesn't sing much now (but can sometimes be persuaded to sing at parties etc.).

I think that there's still a lot of talent and enthusiasm in Grtr. Manchester - but there are problems finding suitable venues.
