Hi Pat ,hope you're doing well - you sounds so , by reading your comments.
Happy days with you and Brian and the Byers End crowd in the tiny station bar at Cleethorpes during the festival early 70's.
I was with a crowd from Redcar.
I can't for the life of me remember the name of a great lad from Coventry - broke his wrists and a leg falling off the pier at Cleethorpes - turned up at the station bar in an ambulance and came out in wheelchair asking " Whose round is it ? ". I've got it on the tip of my tongue and I think it was Paul Riley. Unfortunately Paul's luck (sic) ran out a few years later when photographing steam engines, which turned out to be a different proposition to Cleethorpes sand.
Splott Man asks you to sing Sunday Papers - I can't imagine there's another song of that title so presumably he's talking about Barrie Robert's classic.
Good Luck,
Pete Betts
