Wigan Album

Never seen them before.

I think Ginger on the left was called Geoghan!

These look to too smart for that dump, the Pier Night Club!

I seem to remember that the one on the right was possibly called Vinny,if I remember rightly.

I remember Phil Hongkins who is stood in the middle very well. Don't know the names of the others

Where are they now

On the door at Brian Potter's Phoenix Nights!

I haven`t a clue as to where all these lads are now Cronnie.
I stopped going in there & lost contact when I stopped going clubbing around 1991 ish when I started doing shiftwork & on call.
I seem to remember that one of the DJs in Wigan Pier around that time was a guy who went by the name of DJ Welly.

In my day they were called Bouncers.

There's Bouncers and Bouncers! Those at the Blackpool Mecca couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudd! I remember it all kicked off one time and they went missing!

Johnny, in my day there was always fear of these bouncers, they were top dog. I know it's different now but I,m going back.

I remember an altercation at Uncle Toms in Farnworth. The locals took a dislike to us Wiganers and the bouncers waded in with truncheons. A few of us checked into Wigan Infirmary. It was Halloween and some nurses fed us pumpkin pie! Some consolation as we arranged dates with them!

Forget Welly and Russ Winstanley, Baldylocks. The best DJ was Tony Jebb from Blackpool!

Ha ha, nice one Johnny!!

Thanks, Cronnie :o)
