I can't really remember a Maureen/Mo, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one! It's sometimes hard to remember names from 44 years ago

Mo told me, last time I spoke to her, more than 4 decades ago, that she was engaged to the hotel manager. At that time I was in the army and realised I had lost out completely. Funny how small things come to mind, I haven't thought of the bar at the Queens or Mo for all these years.

Thank you Organist,

Did you also play anywhere locally?

Ronnie Hancock was a top bloke- enjoyed a few schooners with him.

I played professionally for over 30 years mostly in Blackpool, Wigan. and in the early days Liverpool and the Wirral. I`ve played in most of the hotels in function bands, and was resident at the Post Office Club in the early 80`s. I also used to play for the Search for a Star auditions at the Floral, and was a regular with The Teenbeats reunions. Most of my working life was with Wilky(of The Teenbeats) on drums, and sometimes with Kevan Fogarty on guitar. All three of us are now in the U.S.

thanks for the photos, i'll be in Southport at the weekend planning a walk down the prom.

Hope you enjoy your trip back home Sincy.

I see you live in Williamsburg. I'm assuming it's Williamsburg VA? Beautiful place.

What a change it is now compared to those 3 pictures. It is much nicer now. but it is a shame it is not still a hotel.
