ive been lurking for a while as i found it impossible to sign up on my aol account. i grabbed a hotmail account today and got in no trouble. its a good site, an interesting read.
anyway, my names kevin, im 39 and im from birmingham. i lived in fazakerley for about a year, 1987, when i was in care at dyson hall. which is where i first heard the la's, one of the lids had some kind of bootleg tape of their early demos i think, it was played around the clock along with frank zappa and pink flloyd. if anyone else here was in dyson then i was on sefton unit, the units were all named after liverpool parks, sefton, stanley and morris.
ive got a lot of affection for the city and ive come back loads of times for weekends, usually to coincide with either west brom or birmingham playing at goodison or anfield. i usually do all the daft touristy stuff like a meal at the pier head, then a razz on the mersey ferry, then the match and out on the piss after.
anyway, cheers to whoever is responsible for the site, its a good read.
