They never sang Dixie at the Dixieland Showbar in the late sixties or not as I recall, but they did have a glitterball and I should have gone to School the next morning but was asleep on the beach at Morecambe, Mam never knew about that, but she knew a lot of things and my ears still ring from the boxing she gave them.
And the Casino Club at Blackpool, I can't remember the turn that was on but he was a singer and the beer was cheaper than at the Nags Head which was a win for me.
Not a wasted childhood but a bit of a wild one and all that's gone now somehow I got old.
