The party was at The Institute, Spring Gardens, Wigan. Stephen Saywell, Carl Fairclough, Stephen Murphy & Kevin Dutton. I can't remember the name of the lad at the back he lived in the Spring Gardens/Frog Lane area. Stephen Murphy was the Chairman of the Greater Manchester Police Authority until 2004. Times must have been hard going to a party in my Thomas Linacre School blazer.

Hi Joan, I think Kevin did have a sister called Eileen but I am not 100% sure. They lived in Frog Lane opposite Lower St. Stephen Street and next door to the John Woods/ Walmsleys engineering works.
