leigh white Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 It was usually Spring and Autumn when the Wakes rocked up in Tyldesley. It was always the Rolling Stones and the Beatles blasting out on the fastest rides when I was a kid, those speakers could be heard 10 miles away.

Boby Brno Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) Always looked forward to the Wakes coming to LH. Originally on spare land behind Manchester Road, then on land where the the old Raven used to be. Soon as they turned up, we were there offering to help. Never got paid but it was great to be involved. Anyone who has ever been on a Waltzer will remember this tune.
