Hi Mandy. I was only there 6 months. Found my missus in bed with me mate so I came home and learnt the guitar. Been in bands ever since as lead singer!!!
“Johnny hadn’t worked in nearly 4 years “, it was bleak on the job front in Liverpools Thatcher years back then and this was such an uplifting song at the time . Still puts a smile on my face today 👍
I still have my vinyl 12” in perfect condition. This is one of my all time favourite classics that I can still be found humming or singing about the house.
Thank you for uploading this to UA-cam. I remember this being played on a radio station called Marcher FM (based near Wrecsam/Wrexham). I lived in Malpas, Cheshire but I could received the signals of Marcher FM very easily. This was a top song on Marcher FM during 1988. Thank you so much for uploading this to UA-cam. Da iawn a diolch yn fawr/danksas vin/thank you.
Oh my god, the memories of being in The Castle in Seaforth and The Latham I think, hey it was 1989 and i was 18/19yrs old I'm 55 now, god it hurts and saddens me as life was effin boss!!! Hey even my beloved Everton where the "toppermost of the poppermost" and if u remember who's catchphrase that was-(answers on a postcard please)-then ur older than me but more importantly much better for it, holy shabs nabs dabs I'm turning into AF and TB, Nooooooo!!! Thanx for the memories.
Wernt they called Three's A Crowd then went to as we no and love Up and Running? Saw them so many times as my girlfriend-(me bird ha ha)-loved them so i had to go ya no to erm ya no like erm make sure nottun appund!! We were so- (il)-literate in those pre -(ok here's the list)-mobiles, tinternet, Google and on and on and we even knew how to write, who remembers letter's? I'm being a nob now sorry I'm just reminiscing. Take care all.
Some amazing nights and afternoons watching Phil Jones in various guises Beano , Afraid of nice , twos a crowd and up and running but the Hillside stay behinds in Huyton best ever
I just wanted to let you know that I will never forget you and thank you for being o Talented Artist that Liverpool will never forget thnx for being u and tnx for the musik
