Flyer
Big Ed and His Rockin Rattlesnakes
Cloud 9
14th November 1985

While I'm at it, another flyer for said same band.Ted Chippington,a very drole comedian;from Stoke I think.He pretty much started every joke with "I was walking down the road the other day......".I know I saw him on the bill with Frank Sidebottom somewhere..
Another aside..I'm pretty sure I was at a fashion show at Cloud Nine in the early Eighties where Hewan Clarke was the compere.Anyway as usual me and my partner in crime where mooching around in the back rooms up to no good,I 'll be bound, and as we walked back out into the venue there was old Brian Tilsley stood by the door with this girl,"giving her one" in the vernacular of the day;and as we walked past he just looked at us and said "alright lads" to which we replied "alright"...well what else could you do.....We found a packet of tampons later and were soaking them in beer and sticking them to the the ceiling;pathetic I know.....must have seemed like a good idea at the time.Just another night out in Manchester....Probably shouldn't be putting this stuff up...it's not really musical.
