THE WHEEL STARTED OFF IN ONE ROOM ONLY AND WAS A COFFEE BAR FREQUENTED BY HIPPIES AND STUDENTS R&B WAS THE MUSIC OF THE DAY AND BELL BOTTOMS OR LONG SKIRTS AND A HOSPITAL BLUE WAISTCOAT. IT STARTED BRANCHING OUT AND LITTLE BY LITTLE MORE CELLARS WERE OPENED UP. WE THEN WENT ON TO MODS AND ROCKERS WHERE THE DRESS CODE WAS SMART MINI SKIRTS FOR THE GIRLS AND MOHAIR SUITS FOR THE LADS THIS WAS NORMALLY FINISH OFF WITH A CARNATION IN THE LAPEL ON A SATURDAY NIGHT WAS BEST WITH PEOPLE COMING FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY FOR THE ALLNIGHTER. IN THE MORNING IT WAS OFF TO THE ESPRESSO BONGO FOR BREAKFAST THE TRAIN TO BOLTON AND A AFTERNOON SPENT DANCING AT THE BONE YARD. WHEN THE WHEEL CLOSED DOWN IN BRAZENORE STREET AND MOVED TO WHITWORTH STREET I HELP PAINT THE NEW PREMISES IT WAS NEVER THE SAME AS THE OLD WHEEL.

Swish, No worries mate, we can only speak as we find. Maybe I missed it all (good job too) Perhaps we should continue any further `yap` to the `have your say` bit of this website else Dave is gonna chew us up (lol) KTF Mif

Mif, First of all thank you for supplying that tape of the Cats to this website, loved it. I also do NOT want to fall out immediately we have met. However there were certain lads particullarly from Derby (Fiac) (Lighting) for example who were especially out to roll. I became mates with these boys over the years but I remember specifically one night outside the Cats when news filtered through that a chemist had been done and the gear was arriving. The Derby boys had a massive fight with the Wolves lads to try and capture the gear. (outside the Cats not inside). Also I was once offered an entire collection of sounds which had been ripped off from the Cats (I was still in the Cats at the time) (I am talking top sounds, the business) for a pittance. I refused to entertain it. Cheers Swish
