Jimbo, your last few posts have summed up the job the way it used to be, absolutely magic!! My son keeps saying to me, (he is a driver) quote how the hell have you done this job for all these years I don’t know, unquote. I dare not tell him Regards Kev.
aye…looking back the early -mid 80s things changed an no for the better in my eyes…i can mind you could move into the office from being a driver ,well if you wanted…but later on that was your lot ,driver was a driver. no some geek straight out o college that had no even sat in a wagon.! a miners club at Loanhead just south o edinburgh ,magic nights.
Elgin was another good place to park up…lol…went back to the cab after a tot or 2 and i wondered what the hell the noise was at my cab door…
hehe it was another driver banging a bird upagainst the door …
Trafford park by the water??parked among rocks… strippers frae liverpool ,then they were givin extras round the back …+the old fur coat brigade haha good nights…better breakfasts…if you could keep them down.
no mobile phones …do the work an phone in.

Oldham was a bit near home for a night out when I was a young-un but did nights out there with the lads always a lively spot we used to go into Albert Pierrpoint’s pub “Help the Poor Struggler” one night a guy rolled in there worse for drink and sang his heart out all night, he was supposed be on stage in Manchester but did his show in Albert’s pub much to the consternation of his agent who was also his driver, does anybody remember the great Josef Locke, “While out in the desert weary soldiers they are sleeping” golly nearly broke out into song there until I realised I can’t sing.
thanks harry long retired.
Did he do “Hear my song” as an encore?

hiya,
Hell fire “Suedehead” youv’e dragged that post up from the cellar haven’t you,
it’s more than 50 years ago since I had boys nights out in Oldham but once he
got up to sing on stage about the size of a pool table not even his agent had
any chance of getting him down and he sang his heart out for the punters and
all for no payment, I should imagine “Hear My Song” would have been rendered
it was one on the go at that time, a hell of a voice in his day,never heard of
him passing away but he must be a ripe old age if he’s still alive.

There was a film done about his life, with Ned Beatty played the part miming the songs, terrific voice, stirring songs, same period as the roaming vagabond Cavin O’connor, as a young boy I would listen to them on the wireless,also " Hutch".
