Anybody know how to contact Gary Rashman? We were at school together and lost contact 50 years ago. I heard a Wishbone Ash track a couple of days ago and it reminded me of him. It would be good to say hello.

I also attended two concerts at the Houldsworth Hall in 1969. The first one had Family,  Roy Harper and Bridget St. John.  The second was Country Joe and the Fish and The Liverpool Scene , who I saw later in the evening at The Magic Village,  Principal Edward's didn't show as usual. Keith,  Bolton.

Reg Park, three time winner of the Mr. Universe title, appeared at Houldsworth Hall in 1969. Bert Loveday of Bolton photographed Reg's performance and Robert Kennedy reported on it in the Weider publications. At 39 years of age, Reg was still the planet's alpha male.

My grandad put the wrestling shows on. I have just walked past and asked to have a look but the hall is not as it was. The guy on the reception was amazed when he googled it!

I was at the Edgar Broughton Band gig with Gary Rashman, brother of Elliot, future manager of Simply Red, but would have sworn it was also Third Ear Band, not Principal Edwards...but it was a great gig with real 1960s light show!
