    That's a polite term for leaving four sheep at the headman's cave.

    They had a big event at Cheltenham race course last year called Clockstock. The line up looked good as well with dj's like Sneak, Joey Negro & Grooverider.

    haha - worth a shot though.

    This gig of the roses at Blackpool is incredible. "Manchester we're in the area"

    Reni for me was the pinnacle of cool and one of the greatest drummers ever alongside Clyde Stubblefield

    I never got to the Hac, despite being only 20 odd miles down the East Lancs, and Liverpool did have Cream.

    (Even that was toppy for a student, and Medication was same venue and it was £1 a bottle!)



    qh
    Cream was good.

    Clockwork Orange is still going if you fancy dropping in to see clubbers in their 40s and 50s.

    I need to read Sumner's book. I like Hooky's disclaimer: "It's the truth, as I saw it."
