A trip down memory lane around Manchester....

[Gazza]

Went to wheels on a Sunday, good time

I don't know if you're old enough to remember but before that it was a nightclub called The Birdcage.

I spent a lot of time in Music Exchange and A1. Great days.

Loved the Werneth low pub,

My Wife and I along with our friend Simon write and record our own songs for pleasure. We wrote this one called 'Red Brick Town' about Manchester. I did some filming on my phone and put together a video for it.
We're all in our 60's so it's just for fun. Let us know what you think please and don't hold back I can take the criticism....honest!

Gotta be close?

Tune that, reminds of the polytechnic Friday night

Manchester pub that didn't serve alcohol was a 'doomed' social experiment

The Pop Inn in Openshaw was a pub with 'absolutely no beer or common sense'

Good old Alex Park Estate. That went so well didn't it? Lived nearby in the early 90's. It was a scary place with gun shots and helicopters most nights.

Gunchester was a very appropriate moniker

In the 60's it was mostly derelict houses and it was as bleak as fuck.

Playing out was like dicing with death but it sure helped out with your risk assessment for later on in life :)

I got mugged aged 3 by gypsy children on the croft opposite me. They took my shoes and socks and bike and left my crying in a puddle. Poor ****.

Pidgeon shit infested escalators in Stockport precinct (sorry I know this is about Manchester)
Going into Sugg Sports to look for latest City stuff and then straight to Toy and Hobby for some Star Wars toys.

Back to my Grans on 234 Bus, before meeting up with the lads and lasses in our road for a game of German off and On, Walley or Kick Can until it got dark. Great days. Wouldnt change it for all the playstation games and tiktok videos in the world.
