I remember Colin and Tony, they were cousins. Colin lived in Pinewood Crescent and Tony lived in Maple Avenue Ince. I once saw them play at what was then Newtown British Legion.
colin and tony are my cousins they used to play fri\sat every week in the bush up belle green lane and it was in my mams front room at 167 belle green lane when trying to come up with a mame that my brother vernon came up with the name
I used to go to a lot of their gigs and remember them playing The Monaco in 1973 when I was sweet 16
I remember John Holden,he had a sister called Angela.they went to Cardinal Newman Secondary School when i did.
Did Tony have two sisters called Jaqueline and Christine?
Yeah he does,jack & chris are my aunties, thats my dad, John & colin are my Uncles lol, who are you susan did you know my dad ?? :-) any body else remember um ??......
Hi Tracy, Jaqueline was my best friend at school. We knew each other from about the age of four when we started at Ince Central. I just remember Tony and Christine because of her. I also remember Tony at Rose Bridge school when he used to battle his way through the lunch-time queue for my packets of crisps. Jaqueline used to say I was the fastest crisp-eater she'd ever seen. Unfortunately, I still love crisps and can eat them just as fast! Say hello for me. Thanks for the reply and I would love to hear from you again
John on the left is my brother and went on to singing for a living and a musician and still does as JONATHAN
I (formerly Jackson) remember Johnny and Tony also Angela but their older sister Sheila was more my age. She was a fabulous dancer. She danced on stage at Wigan Casino Soul Club (NOT alnighter) with Tony Burns wow that were great.
Hi. I am Sheila Holden that was and yes I was a dancer at Wigan Casino back in the day.
I also danced at the Rugby club before it changed to the Riverside and many other venues.
Hello Sheila, you would probably remember me as Marion Harrison. How are you. Just found this website. Hope you reply to this
