Goin' Quoin'

The return of the Frantic Four.
John Coughlan (drums) & Alan Lancaster (bass) back with Francis Rossi & Rick Parfitt in "the #1 rock n roll band in the land, the magnificent.... Status Quo!"
It could almost be 1976 again, except for the hairstyles of both band & fans......
Pictures include outside the Manchester Apollo, the support band, The Treatment, playing in front of Quo's Hello curtain & then pretty crap shots of the main event.

The (no) Ring Of Ire

The original 'modern shopping mother'.
Once of Lord Square, now relocated to the Corporation Street / Astley Gate / Northgate area.
She was Initially unveiled as part of the 'new' Blackburn shopping centre in the early 70's, and she caused much controversy as a mini skirted young mum who lacked a wedding ring.
The 'even newer' Blackburn shopping mall has engulfed her old location, outside the Cavendish nightclub (latterly The Pepermint Place, for those of  more modern vintage) and caused her to be moved to the new site at the top end of the Barbary Coast, just outside The Chippery.
