Lyndale Eccles
When I left school in 1962 me and my pal Chris Marks used to go to the Lyndale over Burton's tailors. We saw some great acts - Herman and the Hermits, Rockin Berries, loads of local groups that didn't make it, Brian Page and the Chapters..Stylos, and lots of others. Then we graduated to the Jungfrau in Manchester where you could dance the night away without the need for alcohol - it was coffee (frothy) and coca cola or pepsi. Or the Twisted Wheel where we saw acts like Long John Baldry, the Rolling Stones, Hollies - what a fantastic time to be a teenager! I actually saw the Beatles at the Ardwick Apollo....live! I worked afacing Granada TV and met The Kinks, Karl Denver, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Stones and The Beatles in the early 60s, what wonderful memories...if only we could go back. By the way, if we missed the bus home we would take off our shoes and walk, no fear at all. How things have changed. but not for the better, and that is so sad. Regards Moira.

RE: RE: Lyndale Eccles
Hi there, you were probably about the same age as my sister, Aileen, who I think went to the Lyndale. I agree that Eccles has certainly changed, and not for the better!! I have lived down south until recently moving back to Manchester. I couldn't believe how much it's changed! No market any more, roads different, and sorry to say, but looks like a very neglected, forgotten place! So sad! Jackie
