An old friend from Burnley is mailing out a copy for me, looking forward to reminiscing. He reminded me many big acts also did the Astoria in Rawntestall. He gave two standout examples: Long John Baldry backed by Rod Stewart and Elton John at Th'Imp, Yardbirds with Eric Clapton at Astoria. Who knew what the next few decades would bring,,,,,,brilliant

No problem Foreverly if you have any problems come back to this board and ask Guitargeorge directly from here he is very reliable I can vouch for that. UTC.

Just got my copy from the book shop in Colne. It’s great. Thanks for the info it’s much appreciated.

I've just purchased my copy this morning from the bookshop in Colne, I'm looking forward to finally getting stuck into it

Thank you George, you've done a great job getting the book re-done. Nu-Age printers have done a cracking job of reprinting it. The additional bits from Bobby Elliot and Julie Birchalls colour photographs of the fire are a nice touch.
