KEVIN LANE
These two pictures were taken when I worked at the CIS in Manchester. This was well
before I worked at Uncle Toms. I reckon it's only a matter of time before those shortie
plastic jackets come back into fashion. There are plenty of modern day photos of me on
the site.
 

 

 

 

 

DANNY WATT

This is Dan our ideas man, looking enigmatic and mysterious when posing for his first passport many

years ago. Nowadays pictured recently at Little Hulton Conservative Club, he seems more interested

in talking to the ladies. Can't blame him for that - Nice one Dan.

 


 

 

 

JOHN & MARY TATE

Still happy together after all these years (alledgedly). The first photo was taken at Fagins in

Manchester in the"chicken in the basket" era, and the more modern offering was at Little

Hulton Conseravtive Club.

 


 

 

 

WENDY & JULIE CRAGG

This is the famous Cragg sisters, both then and now. Julie on the right in both pictures now lives in

Spain but managed to catch one of the "Nostalgia Revue" nights at Little Hulton Conservative Club.

Wendy on the left still lives in Little Hulton and attends all our nights. The freckles on both these

"Bobby Dazzlers" in there younger days were something else.

 


 

 

 

 

ROY SPENCER

This is Roy our erstwhile cashier(sometimes) pictured with me at the Majestic Club in Manchester

sometime in the mid sixties, yet again this is long before Uncle Toms Cabin. Note the suits, shirts

and ties, weren't we smart. As you can see young Spencer has allowed the dress code to slip when

snapped at the Top Club Little Hulton.

 


 

 

 

 

VIVIEN PENDLEBURY (NEE COOKE)

This is our friend Viv one of the few genuine Uncle Toms regulars still about. The first photo is in

the Uncle Toms days, with her friend Lynnne. And the more modern offering is Viv chilling out

recently in Teneriffe. Note in both pictures Viv has booze in her hand, nothing much changes.

 


 

 

 

KRIS SLATER

This is Kris one of the few people to have been at every one of "Nostalgia Revue's" evenings. In the

first picture she is with her twin sister Lynda. Love the heart shape pendant even then Kris I'm sure

you're a true romantic. In the more modern photo Kris is snapped with her friend Wendy and me

at the "Top Club" Little Hulton.

 


 

 

 

 

TONY BURDAKY

This is Tone, who along with his brother Mike were two of our original regulars, both of them have

stood the pace well, and are still enjoying there "Motown Nights". The first photo was Tone when

he was about ten years old, and the more up to date version was taken recently at Little Hulton

Cricket Club.

 


 

 

 

 

MIKE BURDAKY

This is Mike brother of Tone above. Like Tone he was one of our founder customers of the "Nostalgia

Revue". In the first photo Mike was about six years old, looks like it may have been a school photo.

The second photo was taken at Little Hulton Cricket Club, where Mike is posing with our moving

James Brown statue.

 


 

 

 

 

DIANE BLACKBURN

This is the delectable Diane. The first photo was taken with her friend June in there "Bopper Days".

Love the blue eye shadow girls. The more recent photo was taken at Little Hulton Cricket Club

when Diane was out on a man hunt.
