Hi, I was the Resident Drummer in the Derbyshire Miners Ballroom in 1983, aged 20 in a duo Called MGM, my first season....some great Characters including Kids Entertainer Uncle Stan and in the Tavern Bar Young Piano sensation Mr Tim Sweet. I went back in 1989 as Resident DJ/Greencoat, I remember Alan J Bartley the rock n roll comedian and a great Vocalist called Griff St James
