Terry Kane… The photo is from late June 1993. The station was Splash FM. Terry James ran a very successful ‘Request Show’ and the phones didn’t stop.

Linda Boiling… Hi Terry Kane ,hope you are keeping well, not seen you for a while, I’m Linda, May’s daughter, remember the beans on toast and the cakes? She was your no 1 fan. x

Clive Garrard… Hope you have a happy Christmas Terry. I gave you a demo tape for that Broadcast. I did not know you then, but, bumped into you where ESK is now.

Coaster and matches supplied by Mo Elms

Richard J Porter… Supped a few ales and enjoyed a few meals aboard.

Paul Coleman… The Earl of Zetland is no more. The ship had a very chequered history after it was brought into service in 1939, around the start of the 2nd World War, including 2 other names & being used to carry troops & as a ferry. She spent her last days in a marina in North Shields where she continued as a restaurant, bar & at one time a chip shop. She became too expensive to maintain and was recently lifted out of the water by 2 giant cranes & put on the dockside where she was finally cut up for scrap. A sad end for a ship that gave many good memories to many people.

Dave Nattress… You know what chaps, one of the very nicest things about this website is that in remembering all the local bands, gigs, musicians, DJ’s, all of us trying our best, everyone is kind, supportive, says nice things and speaks so well of everyone else. This post of Die Laughing is a great example!! Rock on!!

Wendy Weaver… One of the band worked in the Tax Office, cant remember his name. I think they were waiting to go to university. They seemed to practice an awful lot They got a gig playing on the pier I think to replace someone who had cancelled. it would have been about 1980 or so.
