John Aspey owns the warriors bar. Well at least he did last time I was there. I think John Aspey used to have the Guardians pub in Wigan .. not sure. He also did a bit of estate agency'ing in Spain.

I worked for Tony at memories (then at Henry Afrikas and the station). I always saw him as a mentor. He knew how to promote a venue and even got the staff handing out flyers for free. I remember spending sunday nights rehearsing shows I also remember Nev Hampson and paul smith (manager at the time) getting drunk and dancing on the bar with Viv. Sorry to hear of Tony's death. R.I.P.
