Will get hold of an album them and give him a listen.

Old enough though to remember nights at Wakefield Arms and Heppy. My Dad used to go, and I would sometimes go along in my early drinking days

Start at the beginning, Axe victim first then move on.

I remember be bop deluxe appearing in Cas 1970, could tell they were something special.

Saw one of their very first 'gigs' at, of all places, Minsthorpe High School in South Elmsall, absolutely mind blowing for a young lad like me!

Newton Hill club, I think that’s what it was called , where I first saw Be Bop Deluxe and rightly so what has been said, they were class.

He lived on the Nostell estate; heading towards Wakefield on the Donc-W'field road, after the Nostell lake bridge, on the left are some cottages, that's where he lived and there is a blue plaque on the cottage wall. He was actually born in Barton upon Humber.

There is a superb cover band called sunburst deluxe well worth a listen to when doing the rounds .
Sadly went to see bill nelson at the Irish club in Leeds a few years ago but no matter how many shouts from the crowd he plugged his red noise ,and wouldn’t entertain any old stuff.

Doesn't surprise me, he came over in past interviews as very arrogant.

I worked in Cas for thirty odd years and can't recal Newton hill club. One place that had bands on regularly early to mid 70's was the Trades and labour club which then became Langtree park, if I was guessing I'd have guessed there. I saw John Parr there probably mid 70's, he of St Elmo's fire fame.

And lets not forget Horbury born architect John Carr (1723 - 1807). Harewood House just one of his designs and the wonderful St Peters church in Horbury.

Not in Cas, it’s where Newton Hill roundabout is , top end of Wakey.

Not sure but I think they stopped calling it Newton House club when they knocked the old club down, and renamed the new one the Roundhouse.

Next to where the vine tree/ Capri restaurant is? There was a pub there in the 70s

Later to be known as the Arabesque I believe

Charles Waterton who was the Sir David Attenborough of his time in mid late 1700s

Correct the list is building.

We are all forgetting David Storey. Author and playwright.
Born Wakefield, attended Qegs and then arts college in Leeds.
Whilst at the latter played rugby league for Leeds,
Author of ‘This Sporting Life’ which won awards as a film .Was then, in 1976 awarded ‘Booker Prize’ for his novel ‘Saville’.

This is the current roll of honour: [urlhttp://www.wakefield.gov.uk/events-and-culture/wakefield-stars?[/url

Isn't Helen Fielding (wrote the Bridget Jones books/films) one of yours?

Sure I read she was from Leeds.

If Kathrine Kelly is in then how about Reece Dinsdale, a Normy old boy, Coronation street, Spooks, Life on Mars, Silent witness, Taggart, Waterloo road, and numerous high end theatre productions.

Good call, also used to mention Trinity quite often on his radio show.

She's from Leeds but J K Rowling lived in Wakefield for a short while as a young teenager and went to Girls High for a few terms but that's pushing it a bit.

That said I can't remember where I got that from

Don't forget the jewel in the crown - Home To Roost.

He's been to BV a fair few times in the past. Also went to the 1978 Wembley final.
