That's right. We used to catch the 112 from Broadhurst Fields all the way to my gran's house in Streford every Sunday back in the 70s.
Mmm...my gran's Sunday dinners!!! Better than me mam's! Soz, mam!

The 112 went to Moston / Midddleton
From Sale / Alty it is the 263
Basil has slightly disappeared the last few years but still a Don. A cool ruler, a steppin razor. Unlike many of his peers he hasn’t been a cliche and fallen victim to demons. God bless you BC, the only man to tell Tony Wilson to “Fuck off you ****” to his face during a negotiationIs Basil still knocking about, do you know? I used to see him at loads of free gigs around town back in the 80s. I saw them a few times and every time his voice gave me goosebumps...good tight band too. I've got some Yargo vinyl too...Get High on 12" white label and the album.

haha. I hope he's still singing. There's some decent live footage of Yargo on YouTube...Basil has slightly disappeared the last few years but still a Don. A cool ruler, a steppin razor.

For those of you who never heard Yargo, Wilson named his late night Granada TV show after this song. But he tried to get Basil to waive his royalties because ‘exposure’. Basil told him to fuck off and said ‘the Mondays are getting paid for Granada incidental music’
Wilson was scared of black people apart from his grammar school pet and backed down
And this is the best piece of black music to come from Manchester. Almost operatic. Barry Adamson had done Moss Side Story around the same time but Basil absolutely nails the vibe of Broadmoor Road at 11pm on a Saturday here

Defo. It was a good time to be growing up and being into music in Manchester. I get people from all over the world saying they wished they were there at that time. People are still discovering it for the first time and loving it all. So, we know we were right!We have almost definitely been at the same gigs Mark
No way, when watching Bez nod back and forth like some joy rider on acid, back at Platt fields in 1987, that he'd become a daytime, household, family TV name in the future with Shaun! But.... haha

A good friend of mine lived with his mum on Broadmoor Road. Used to park outside his house before home games and the "mind yer car for yer mister" boys would be out in force. Would tell them "my mum lives here" and they always left the car alone....
Did Northside waive the royalties on both tunes used for Granada Soccer Night and Granada Weekend Match?

Saw Yargo a number of times. A bit like The Man From Delmonte, they had a habit of always being somewhere on the bill. Not my cup of tea, but could appreciate them for clearly being talented.
