Like saying could Jimmy Hagan play in this Chris Wilder team? Regards your question I don't know. Reason is I don't know is I do not know enough about Julian Cope. Admit had to look him up. Listened to WSYM reasonably impressed and thought tempo and rhythm similar to many of Hardin's tunes. Lyric wise C.H.Holley probably far more simple and the use of language not as broad as Cope's but then he didn't stay around long enough to fully mature as Cope has. Any how thanks for the nudge, I've learned something new and that cannot be a bad thing
Regarding the Hagan, Wilder question the answer is so much clearer, yes.

I think he might have been slightly tongue in cheek but anyway, I’m not sure this will be to your taste but I think it’s great.

Channing Hall, Surrey Street. Anyone remember the sale events in there, 80s I think. Watches and stuff wasn't it?

Around about 35 years ago I was going to Taylors to get my haircut and got 'dragged' into Channing Hall to take part in a Lager sampling marketing session......it was 8.45am and I was 'extremely merry' by the time I actually got into the barbers.

Thanks for the pic Silent Blade
I was reminiscing about that game with my Evertonian mate that I met 50 years ago at College in Leeds. We went to that match and I stayed overnight at his mum and dad's. He spent all the match going, "Garbage". Mind you, so did the Liverpool fans at Anfield on Good Friday 1968 ;)

L**ds v Blades FA Cup 6th round in March 1968

Again, Silent Blade , thank you, another match I went to! I remember us being on the open end, (now their Kop) opposite their then Kop, the Scratching Shed End. I think we sold 13,000 tickets that day and their old Tannoy speakers were belting out, "Noo Don't Stop De Carnival" (April Price's band?) and their pitch was a diamond-shaped quagmire. Despite relegation, 1968 was a good season in many ways. Well, for me it was. ;)

They're all coming out from 1968 aren't they? We were on Match of the Day as their scheduled game had been called off - you can see the snow on the terraces behind the goal (Clock End, I think). I went down on, (I think) the Arbourthorne Supporters Club Coach and we congregated at Kings Cross at midnight for the return journey. We listened to the match in some pub and you could clearly hear us few hardy souls chanting, "Bernard, Bernard, Bernard" while he was down injured at one point. Had the only few pints of Draught Double Diamond I've ever had and it was wonderful. We also went down to Soho where we went into a strip club, where a certain fan's scarf was borrowed by a certain Rusty (MILF she would be these days) and used by her as part of her act ..... As I said previously, 1968 was a very good season for me .... ;)

The white building is the former Tennants Brewery (not the modern-day Tennants), in which I did my first full-time job; summer 1969 as a student before heading off to Leeds to College. That workplace was an eye-opener .......

The white building is the Bridge Inn, the Exchange brewery was next too on the left in photo, just see a fraction of it above back of bus on left. There may have been access from the brewery to the pub you would know better than me. Am I right understanding that for the workforce in the brewery there was bitter and Gold Label on draught, as and when you liked. Did you experience this whilst you worked there?

We're both right. There were offices above the pub and the whole block belonged to Tennants. Dont recall Gold Label being on draught but it was certainly brewed there. Whether or not the staff had a secret stash among the stacks of pallets and empty boxes up on the roof I couldnt possibly comment ... ;) What they did have in the staff room was a large barrel of Amber bitter that was free to all.

This might have been his lesser known sister but I think you mean Alan Price. I was also at that match but sat in the stand.

I've also heard of the Gold Label being on draught, but thought it was available in the Bridge Inn, rather than in the brewery itself. Not sure if this was an early urban myth or not.
