Hi Betty. How come John Lewis is not on the photo?

Comment by: Elizabeth Bate on 30th June 2008 at 16:42

John only joined Kettle when Ernie left in 1971. I'm sure I've got a picture somewhere with John on, when they were in South Africa, I'll have to find it.

Hi Betty thanks for the reply. John now plays bass for us as well as the Outlaws. We played at his home last Saturday along with Winston and Alligator Joe to celebrate his birthday. It would be great if you could dig a photo out when he was in his pomp!

Hi Joan Beckett. I have 3 or 4 pictures of Winston. We played at a charity gig with them last Christmas thats when the photos were taken. If you leave me your e-mail address I will forward them to you.

Hi 1934granada not sure if you have sent the pics of winston but I havent got them and I think its because your e mail address isnt on my hotmail list is it possible for you to let me have your e mail address then I can add it to my list so as to recieve the pics, hope you understand this, regards Joan

Hi Joan. I sent the photos yesterday and I've not had a failed delivery notice to say that they have not been sent. Just check your junk mail as they might have gone straight to that box if your on hotmail. Failing that, let me know and I'll give you my e-mail address. Regards, Granada.

1934granada The photos are not there sorry, I have my junk mail deleted straight away, sorry about that, regards Joan x

Comment by: 1934granada on 4th July 2008 at 14:04

Hi Joan. Can you not alter your junk mail settings? Otherwise it's pointless me sending them as they will just get deleted immediately.

Comment by: Joan Beckett on 4th July 2008 at 22:49

1934granada sorry about this but can u e mail me on funinthesun80@yahoo.com I have no idea how to change anything on msn thanks. Joan x

I remember the good days of the Wigan Rugby Club - before it was the Riverside - when they had a regular weekly spot, as did Rainbow Cottage. I was a barmaid and we couldn`t hear the drinks orders! Happy Days.

Lots of Rainbow Cottage stuff on www.lankybeat.com

Were any of these lads in the Black Diamonds band?
If so, I have something that may interest them.
