What a night crowds four people deep down Victoria St
and part way up Sir Thomas St
most of the male staff had to form a chain to keep crowd off the stage
It was the same when Benny King was on What value for money they were in those days
Last saw Jimmy Parry back in 1980 he was living in Warbreck Moor
He has probably retired now
Frank Gibson passed away many years ago
Yes I remember Linda she lived in Upper Parliament St
another girl was Vera she was Echo Club girl a few times
all Happy Memories

I am desperately seeking any information regarding Joan Chambers (she may have been known as Veronica Chambers) who I believe worked as a waitress at Fullers in the early 1950's for a period of about 18 months. I would be very grateful for any information, no matter how small, that readers could provide. Many thanks Martin Kay I was fascinated to read Doreen’s reminisences about her time at Fullers.

I remember the cloakroom girls especially one called Linda Lee, do you know how Jimmy Parry is? Tommy McNally was another doorman who worked there.
