Maria Mclean

Hello Maria..

Thanks for getting in touch. I'll put you in touch with Jim who took them great photographs of your Grandad Harry..

Edited..

I enjoyed our chat on the phone Maria, I hope you find what you are looking for regarding your family tree research...

Thank you Maria for the info regarding Harry passing away, I was sorry to hear this as I have some great memories of watching your Grandad Harry performing around Liverpool in the mid 80's..

I'll add what you told me to the photographs of Harry...

Thank you again Maria..

Hi Ged

I have just checked your site out again after a few months and once again I am really impressed it does get better every time I check it out, well done mate. I look forward to working with you when we launch 'Plug Inn' (the forgotten years) volume two as you are the official photographer for the three gigs (dates to be confirmed) I am sure you will work your magic and tell the story through the lens and capture the excitement of the night's in question.

Kind Regards

Tony Bolland

Hiya Tone..

Thank you mate, I'm genuinely honoured to be involved with you and to take photographs at any events for you...I really am Tony...

Thank you again my friend.

Hey there Gerard,

Gerard Gardens my grandma lived there and I often visited her I lived in Norris Green on the boot estate and I had to go on the bus on my own and it was a hell of a long journey when I was a kid. All the people were great and always made me feel welcome except for one gingerhaired lad who used to bully me his name was Alan and the funny thing is I bumped into to him in the Sportsman in the town centre years later and we became friends. I really do love the site mate and the variation great photos great anecdotes from the plug in bit and Bill Harry I got his book the other day and hopefully I'll get Tony Bolland's book for xmas in my stocking.

tarah for now

Ronnie

Hi Ged and everyone...

Yes he's right about the gabbing and it is a battle when we are together that's because we are so passionate about our great City and it's incredible history...with Ged it's have lens will travel...me have a pen or keyboard and I'll write war & peace! Ged you have captured some great moments in time with your special skills just keep doing it mate and 'Tomorrows People' will get an insight to great times...

Cheers mate it's a pleasure to know you

Tony

Hiya Tony

...the real reason I dont get a word in when me and you have the yarn  is because I could listen to you all day when you talk about the Liverpool music scene....especially our 70's era.... it really is a pleasure to be involved with you Tony...and I hope to be involved with you on many a future project...

Will get your new book Info on over the weekend Tone, big bash at the Adelphi tonight, Pete Best, Billy Kinsley, Geoff Nugent etc..(I'll mention you to Jimmy)..  just getting me gear ready as I'm off along there to take the pics..

Speak soon mate..

Hi there Gerard

I found your site when i was looking for Tony Bolland's new book, it's really cool la good pics and plenty of selection I live six months in the Uk and six months in Saudi and I was in aband in Liverpool in the late 60's early 70's and it's a shame some of the clubs and pubs have disappeared and everytime I come back some more have bit the dust it's a great thing your'e doing mate collecting pics for the archives like tony with his bands and musicians you two should get together. Anyway keep up the fantastic work and I'll try and meet up with you both in the new year as I'm off back to Saudi tomorrow.

all the best

Well Ged you have nipped it, portrayed our great City through your lens, the pictures are as precise as Torbo's short back n sides. An eclectic mix of past, present and future, a story without words, none needed. Keep up the good work- it is community spirit not forgotten, what the Copper Kettle is all about, people passionate about a City that has a heritage and historical meaning. Words can win wars, but pictures relay a different story, meaningful, sincere and more importantly true. Eat ye heart out David Bailey Ged Fleming A.K.A Dandy Pat is on the loose- we will let you loose with a lens anytime in Liverpool- truly fantastic.

A bright buttered scone welcome and a Majesty Wave goodbye with White Satin Gloves on, from all of the gang at the Copper Kettle.

Hi Gerard

I have looked at your site a couple of times and I was made up to see the pics of Phil Jones I used to watch him with Next on the Sportsman all those years ago with me judy on me arm and a pint of carling black label. I also was interested to see the plug in thing I didn't know there was a book out about the 1970's looks great. It a very different site and I haven't seen anything like it before your collection of photos are great and it makes a change from the usual formal crap as it is coming from all different era's and it makes you feel good about the Liverpool we know the people the places and the buildings well done mate you have done us proud.

Best.

Steve

Hello Steve..

Thank you very much mate for the comments..glad you like the site..Tony's book is the best thing out there about the Liverpool 70's music scene...nothing comes anywhere near it..

Wait till you see Tonys new stuff !....watch this space..

I keep meaning to give Phil a ring and arrange to go and get more pics of him playing...I must do that soon....

Thanks again Steve
