I collect old posters
New poster arrived today to add to my collection.
Original screen print poster to promote a march and rally to support the striking Liverpool dockers marking one year from the start of dispute which ran from 1995 - 1998
They toured the UK in 1973.

Liked almost everything Andrew Collins did.
Broadcaster, podcaster, writer. There appeared to be nothing he couldn't do that I didn't enjoy.
He seems to have disappeared recently.
Hope he's OK
He came to Faversham last February and this was my Facebook post.
Such a nice fella
On this day in 1991 Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine played the Kilburn National in London, followed 2 days later with a gig at Brixton Academy. This is a poster for those gigs from my collection

Read the book last Christmas.
Taping the TV tonight to watch later

Been doing this in Kent since Covid.

Where can you get this?
( I mean next years)
Would love to do this with my poster collection some day
Shame I’m way down here in Kent

Worth a look at Mono, #Glasgow

Open with an album track, some hits, and then a few new ones, where everyone talks over. Just like a 'real gig' to my annoyance.
When a mike stand is knocked and it wobbles near the end it really shows attention to detail
I got Dickie Davis’s autograph when he opened the new Tesco in Ashford, Kent sometime in the mid 70’s.
Also Captain Birdseye and Loftus Burton, the man who said “I knows it, I grows it” on the Gingernut biscuit advert in the same week.
And what's wrong with being nice?
