I like to go watching indie 30s every so often!

Said it once, I'll say it again - The mighty PERRY!

Take That all the way for me!

 

Quality, apart from miming at the Brits!

Inde 30's have split up now which was a shame as was always a good night.

They've done an annual chariddee gig at the RMI for the past few years if you want to reminisce

Agree about "Out of town" - decent band

 

"10 foot Fez", an Oldham band with a Bowton lad on bass (i think) a fine punk cover band

 

"A foreign town" fine young Bolton band.

 

Always used to enjoy "The Lost Boys" too.

I used to know the band fairly well, missed it last year. I will try and keep an eye out for the one this year.

Love Decade

The Pacinos

The Lancashire Hotpots

Group called The Autos (not sure of spelling) saw them a few times at Lower Nags Head . . . which shows how long ago. I'd guess late 70s early 80s.

Love Decade

Flipping eck, forgot about them.
