Booking my summer vacation now ! Do you know of any decent AirBNB’s in the Brin area, with ‘discrete’ dealers close by ?

I live there and yes can help you out

Strawberry studios I believe it was recorded along with a few more.

My mum built the soundboard for Strawberry Recording Studios

A quick google will lead you to a number of top bands who recorded big hits at Strawberry Studios; Hot Chocolate, 10cc, Bay City Rollers … FUCK, I feel old now [emoji15]

Think I’m right in saying Boys in Blue was recorded there

 

[schfc6]

Fair enough. Probably a lot of reasons. For me I just want to see my local side do well.

lots of people are starting to support non league sides more and ditching the prem sides. Not really surprised by that

Lots of my mates were season tickets at City/United. But then kids come along and priorities change.
Lots will take their kids to county as it’s cheap and at 3pm on a Saturday.

I think I remember his Dad used to drink in the Finger Post in Offerton that was a County hotbed.

Certainly was. We used to play them on Sundays, Lee Todd Ex County/Southampton would be playing..

The Roses, the Smiths to name but a few.

Squatting is the trend and the dealers are driving the ice cream vans.

Brill … “a line and a 99 please”

Went to an exhibition on Stawberry Studios at Stockport Museum a couple of years back. Has some of the original equipment, documents and also you could listen in to the studio sessions for various tracks including The Boys in Blue, Joy Division etc

His dad does drink in the finger post mate. My mate is the landlord. Wayne, used to have the Waldorf in town for 25 years. My daughter runs it for him. Decent pub.

Stockport is now a great place for a Greggs, overweight young women scratching their arses whilst pushing their 6 kids into maccies for their main meal of the day, followed by a bit of shoplifting and onto the 325 to Brinny to get "mortal" on cider and big fat uns.

The most affluent borough in the great metropolis that is Greater Manchester.

Wasn’t Boys in Blue recorded there?

I believe so.

And 10cc produced it.

To be fair, sounds a bit like Piccadilly Gardens these days. God but I walked across that the other day and I just thought, "What a scruffy pit this place has become”.
