Mod to Suedehead

[Botolph]

Yes was filled in and now the tram runs over the top. I remember an our price records on the moor and there was an hmv at top.yorkshire grey has been demolished. Leadmill is only thing that's original from the things you list. Been to see many a gigs too there. Many pubs been and gone like most cities but fortunately Sheffield has become a bit of gem in the UK now for pubs. Probably best in uk

Saw Red Alert at the Leadmill many years ago, with the rare sighting of a sober Cast Iron on vocals. Great gig!

I've just been watching Billy Connolly - Made in Scotland on BBC iPlayer. There was a very brief clip, of which the images below are fuzzy screen-caps, which seemed to be of a Glasgow youth club in the mid-60s, judging by the girls' mod fashions. I can remember 'Glasgow Fortnight' in Blackpool, when the town was full of Weegies. The Twisted Wheel was full of Glasgow mods - hard as nails but great kids. Blackpool was like that, it attracted people from towns all over the northern half of Britain. I met kids from Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds... it seemed to be one way that mod fashion travelled in the land north of Watford.

Funny thing about the brief footage on the Billy Connolly prog - it was part of a sequence played under a Hank Williams record!

Yeah I watched this. And thought at the time the kids didn’t match the music in the clip at all.

Good post MoM and great pics too, only thing I would say is that the term weegies is a bit derogatory like calling an Irish man Paddy. .

Aye, but up here it's part of the banter. Like we call an Aberdonian a "Furryboots" and someone from the capital city "ane o' they posh bastards fae Embra."

I've always wondered whether Nick Lowe was six years behind the times, or six years ahead of the curve in this 1973 clip :

Still want his shirt though.

A Glaswegian fella in a bar once called me a 'Cockney c*nt'.
I was very offended. I'm from West London. How dare he call me a Cockney.

Saw them a few times, the first time is up there with the most powerful gigs I ever attended. The other times were pretty abysmal due to the problem you mentioned.

Happy new year everyone!

Worse yet: Was in Colchester at a bar some years ago, and some fellow swore up and down that I and my companions were from Belfast or at least Ulster... and said knew it because he’d clocked our accents. I’m from Central Massachusetts, as are my buddies who were with me. Baffling.

In all fairness there's some fairly unique sounding accents around that area that might be said to have a bit of Irish in it. I was at a gig years ago and got talking to these lads and for a minute over the general noise sounded like they had a bit of an irish accent.When i asked where they were from one said "Bwostin!". Also Colchester pubs are full of pissed up squaddies who are often baffled and baffling at the same time.

The last thing you want to hear in a garrison town pub is a group of people with Ulster accents.

True, probably means you've had the misfortune to bump into members of the royal irish regiment...
