Left Stafford in 1982 and my girlfriend [now wife] left NSP in 1983. Manchester from 1984-2007 and now in Somerset. Was last in Stafford in 1992 or 1993 for a Reunion at the greatest pub in Stafford - The Eagle. We were regulars there from 1980-82 in the great Joe and Audrey Feenan days. We both really enjoyed Stafford in those years and have only happy memories - apart from the terrible winter of 1981. I used to spend a lot of time @ Good Deals Records, run by Phil, buying loads of vinyl. NSP Friday nights @ Beaconside were always interesting with some great gigs and conflict with the 'townies'.
Cheers.
