Went to see Jersey Boys at the Cliffs last night, fabulous show, great cast. If you haven't been to see it, then do!

I saw Jersey Boys in the West End and it was wonderful.
Many years before I saw Frankie Valli & The 4 Seasons @ The London Palladium and they were fantastic.

By letting Brazil have it? Not sure they’d know what to do with it..

Melt it down probably.

Thought Depeche Mode was Basildon not Southend as well

I went to school with one of this lot and he was a great bloke however I don't recognise the Southend described in this article.

Absolute bollhocks, in the 70s it wasn't a good night out in Sarfend unless you had been stabbed 3 times and had your girlfriend spew over you. And got run over by a Ford Pop with a V8 and no brakes. Kids these days know nothing.

Nor was I but I suspect we come from a slightly different class. MInd you I can reember queuing for donuts back in the day at Gerrry's Nosh when my mate got punched in the face for nothing).

Yes. I'm first class.

Yes. I'm first class.

Ha! You must be better than me then.

Also remember another visit to Gerry's Nosh in the 70's -this time we were five handed in my brother's car-,not Rob Noxius the other one.-he was driving and I was in the front passenger seat.Coming back I was the last one in and felt a blow to my head,which I hadn't seen coming that knocked me down to the ground.If the mate that I described in the previous incident hadn't got out of the back I would probably have taken quite a kicking.As it was we managed to fight our way of the carpark.Case of mistaken identity apparently .Our assailants had been waiting for a revenge attack on another outfit.As you say diferent times.

Southend Pier has been awarded the coveted Pier of the Year award 2023 by the National Piers Society (NPS)

You'd have to go a long way to beat Southend Pier. Over a mile and a third anyway

Just been away for a couple of days as my eldest had a skydiving voucher to use. Weather was too bad to do it the first day but was all good for day 2. In between the time, my daughter decided she wanted to do it as well so the missus forked out for her too. They both loved it as did I when I did it a few years ago

Me neither, but I did get a almighty kick in the nads one night outside The Fisherman pub. That focused the mind.

Great article. I was friends with John and had keys to his studio until he passed.

A great loss to the local scene.

Chuffed the record is getting the release it deserves.
