I have been away from Swinton for over 7 years now so was surprised and pleased to find this thread was still going :-)

In this time of not being able to get out to enjoy our music I thought it apt to link Swinton's YouTube channel so whoever is interested can enjoy what we had in offer some years back. It's a mixture of guest appearances and floor spots. The guy that did it had no connection with The running of the club and it is a pretty random mix!

Enjoy :-)

For some reason I seldom went to the Swinton club despite it only being 3 or 4 miles from where I lived. On the few occasions I did go it was always great fun. I do remember seeing Peter Ryder there and I think Strawhead who were one of our favourite bands.

Pete is still strutting his stuff and as good as ever, Raggy. Strawhead were, I think, from around Southport and friends of Ged and Sue. We wouldn't have been able to afford them otherwise :-)

Couldn't find Pete on that channel but here is one at the Lion from 2011. Last time I saw him he hadn't changed :-)

Just for you, Raggy :-) Nat Shapiro's Time

I didn't link any Strawhead ones as they abound on YouTube. I think Chris Pollington may post on here occasionaly so, if you do Chris, feel free to send us a link :-)

Definitely lingalongamax :-D But it doesn't really matter because whatever it is, isn't happening anyway!
