THE WIGAN INVASION

Its Soundflat Records 10th anniversary party in London very soon. Both my bands THE STAGS and THE SHOOK-UPS are on the bill.....said I'd never play in both bands on the same night.....but hey ho....hopefully it will be fun

"You shall go to the Prom"

It was my Nephew, Jake Roberts 16th Birthday yesterday. As I posted a couple of weeks back, he's recovering from surgery to a splintered collar-bone after a heavy BMX crash whilst training in Denmark.

One positive outcome from all this is Jake can now take his girlfriend, Aimee-Kate to his school Prom Night! The date clashes with a round of the National race championship and he's under contract to attend 'em all...However, he is recuperating...so he's excused.

Jake came round yesterday to raid my attic and try out some suitable threads for the Prom. this is the outfit he picked out.

I know for a fact that his mum has different ideas about this.......thing is.... he's Sixteen now!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME......(AND SID)

It's our birthdays!!!

 10TH MAY 1964 for me and 10TH MAY 1957 for Sid.

I'm very happy to share this date posthumously with Sid. My Grandad, on the other hand, shared his birthday with Adolf Hitler, which he wasn't happy about at all.......

By the way... coincidentally, this also happens to be my 100th FULL FROKKUL post......

My Grandad, Eric and my nephew Jake, track side back in 2003.
