I remember when I was on Radio Jackie North with the late great Rick Dane, Phil Easton from City would often come to the rock nights we did at Eric's club (Renamed as RJN's Cave) in Matthew Street and chat with us in the DJ room. He was a decent bloke and always bought us a pint...but strangely the tunes that got the rockers moving on the dance floor would always appear on his Great Easton Express rock show a week later...industrial espionage I tells yer!
When I think back, we truly had some stamina then. DJing from 8pm friday until 2am in the nightclub, then back to the towerblock for a few hours kip and awake to put an aerial up and broadcast all day saturday, then back to the club again and repeat for sunday's broadcast. It was great fun and I wouldn't have missed it for the world, but buggered if I could do that these days, lol.
