Some old friends and myself having a few jars in The Clarence Hotel on Wallgate before hitting the town on a Friday evening back in 1972. Right to left are myself Cyril Barnett, Tony Meehan, and David Higham, I cannot recall the three other lads names, but I am sure they or someone else will recognise them.

Is Tony Meehan the one with the beard? lived in worsley Mesnes and played a guitar?

Hello Gerry, only just seen your enquiry, yes Tony Meehan is the one with the beard, he lived at Orrell when I knew him - don't know about him playing the guitar, he may well do, but I haven't seen him since the early seventies.

The one on the left sat down I believe is David Brown from highfield.

Was talking to Tony last year and he told me he`s living somewhere in Wales. The lad at the front without tash I think is Tom Higham who lived up Norley.
