Wonderful. I'm from Sheffield a bit further up. But I fell in love with Liverpool, and visit this beautiful city and people. There is a happy vibe about the place. Always in my heart.
Lived all over Liverpool,came to Kirkby 10yrs ago it's the best place I've ever lived,the people of Kirkby are the best.. absolutely genuine people.. I'm proud to call home, Kirkby ❤
My schoolmate mark phythian was the teaboy, trainee in amazon studios in 1983. He made a fortune doing session keyboards etc. He's now a famous record producer. He won a award for Coldplay
Rainford High School? Drank in the Eagle?
@@davidroberts6549 No Holt Comprehensive Childwall, Liverpool. He drank in the Halfway House occasionally. If you Google his name, add musician. All his credits come up.
Remember him as a very modest, quite guy. It was thought he was the cleverest kid in our year
@@jazztheglass6139 I defo know the name. I used to know ( and play with ) a few bands around town in the mid/late 80's and I'm thinking that Mark was friends with Mike Badger ( the La's / Onset ), who I hung around with in those days.
@@davidroberts6549 never knew that. His name is pretty unusual. I've never bumped into any one else called Phythian.
What was pretty funny I remember. In 1982 he was doing regular session work, probably keyboards and other bits and pieces in Amazon Studio. He was getting £20 a hour, big money in 1982
Correct me if I'm wrong but school leavers from the mid-80's onwards were forced onto Youth Opportunity Programs and Youth Training Schemes. The government paid us 15 quid for a 40 hour week and local businesses got a steady stream of free manual workers.
Mr H......good man.....I remember him from school.....covers are good.

Naughty boy Frank .... my dad worked there for a short spell around that time as a driver, they used to have a couple of large furniture removal type lorries, painted cream and red with a huge rising sun logo on the sides.
