It took an hour and a half to get to Huddersfield!

Wow - the programme style brings back some memories.
Happy belated birthday!
10 pints in circa 2 hours that's going some !! as I recall pubs didn't open until 1030 back in the day plus must be at least a 15 minute walk (or stagger) from Wicker to Attercliffe Road Station.

I struggled a bit on the quiz. Sample question: "What distinction do Northampton Town have?" Answer: "The only team to win four away games".
Also... in the same way that one finds it very hard to imagine that things actually happened in colour before the 1960s, I find it quite amusing that they have a 'memory corner' section for nostalgia. Didn't they realise that they were the olden days?
Violet May's, itsinyer? Absolutely no need to apologise for digressing. Memories. It's all I've got left.
My addiction to music began in the very early '60s graf, when of course there was only vinyl (tapes don't count). I lived in Fulham throughout the '60s, travelling until I ended up in downtown Sheffield, kind of predictable really. When I arrived in Sheffield I recall Violet Mays, along with Record Collector (still here I believe). RC was especially good for soul and black american stuff, so I used to spend afternoons there listening and buying. Now it's cds, which my younger friends regard as an aberration of dinosaur proportions, but I don't care, it really is all about the music
) and there was always something to be found whether it was playing for Turandot at Opera North, a new work with David Bedford, a reggae gig with Freddie McGregor (what a night that was), doing a 40s night with the Tom Daugherty Orchestra, a full on brass band competition with Black Dyke or a smoky night with a jazz combo I found enjoyment in the lot.
Was the Freddie MacGregor night at the University? Mid to late 80s?I'll listen to owt, and more importantly (especially in my younger days) I'd play owt as a gig was a gig whatever the genre. Even as a youngster just starting out in the professional world I recognised that music is music (then again Greenwich Blade 'Banco'
Interestingly my listening has always been similar. Eclectic is a perfect description.

Violet May's was also very good for Blues and Soul particularly when it was located at the bottom of Duke St prior to her moving just behind The Moor. I always remember saying her saying to us as very young teenagers whilst we were rummaging through the Soul/Blues section "you won't like that stuff it's all blackies" whilst smoking her 50th fag of the day. Never tried to explain thats's why we were looking thereMy addiction to music began in the very early '60s graf, when of course there was only vinyl (tapes don't count).
