This is from my 'personal collection'

i worked at the Winter Gardens for that last season.
i worked with them all, you know, Cardew Robinson, Monica Rose, Derek Batey, Wayne Fontana, Charlie Williams, the list goes on and on!
A mildly interesting story about this poster - The Dooley family appeared once, then hit the big time and appeared on Top o' the Pops, (check your Guinness hit singles!)changing their name to The Dooleys in the process.
That was the week before they were due to come back,
they cancelled on account of being too famous, vowing to return later, according to their manager,
They never did.
Where are you NOW Dooleys???

Didn't Derek Batey officially open Morecambe Carnival one year ? I know for a fact that Charlie Williams did the honours for Carnforth Carnival because I remember getting his autograph !
