This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

The group I used to enjoy listening to at Tiffs was Bitter Suite (from Barnsley I think) especially their rendition of Mick Ronson's Billy Porter. The whole building used to bounce!

Now that's a blast from the past, Bitter suite, saw them loads of times but never at Tiffs. Along similar lines were Ponders end and Method, think John Parr was the guitarist with Ponders end, he of St Elmo's fire fame.
Good old days, always made for a good midweek out watching those bands!

Harold's on Thornes Lane?

Wakefield Arms was the after match pub of the Wakefield players during the 80s, I think Tony Costello ran it then and he kept a good pint.

His band "The Kalhari Bushmen" and his sons band the "Zillionairs" also played there - both were good.

His son who's name escapes me played bass as a session musician on some Sex Pistols recordings. Howzat.

Great pub.

You mean Tony's lad - that would be Sean IIRC - he was at Junior school with me.

You old gits! I remember all this stuff. Bitter Suite and Ponders End did a few joint gigs once, they called themseves "The Bitter End". Bit like Motorhead and Girls School did a few tracks under the name "HeadGirl" except on a lower level.

I'm a happy depressive - the glass is half empty but the bar is open.:
