Was just about to mention Sykesy but didn't want to lower the tone

Great documentary on him on Youtube, worth a watch if you haven't already.

I've seen it and if you didn't like him by reputation then this won't change your mind - not a pleasant man and far to up himself and thuggish to even be an anti-hero.

I agree 100%, still worth a watch though IMO.

Didn’t some or all of the members of Brotherhood of Man live in Crigglestone?

Wouldn't that be ace, I do have a vague memory of one of them having a Wakefield connection.

Sandra Stevens used to sing in the Mecca/Tiffany’s and the Theatre Club but don’t think she came from Wakefield. I seem to recall her and one of the members of the group moved in together in Crigglestone.

I thought Bill Nelson had a star on the pavement, think somewhere on the springs

I think he was from over Ilkley/Otley way.

Yeah she did, I remember her well, and the Mecca and Tiffany's! Talk about misspent youth!

Yes, the Brotherhood of Man couple lived a few doors away from me. Hollingthorpe Ave. Back of Crigg Middle School.

Classic winning jockey George Duffield; came from Stanley.

The wife did as well, got her fizog on telly with them, her claim to fame, apart from meeting me.

I have Jason’s Flock in my head as the band she sang with in Tiffs.

Kentucky Blue was the resident group but I don’t know if she sang with them.
