1963Andy's Pop Talk
In 1963 I wrote Andy's Pop Talk for the Carlisle Journal for 5 years covering dance halls such as The Cosmo, Market Hall, County Ballroom, Bonds, Queens and 101 Nightclub. I was also DJ/Compere at Carlisle's Market Hall until 1969 with bands like The Who,The Kinks,Walker Brothers, Jimmy James & The Vagabonds, The Hollies, and many many more.
60's and 70'sOver 400 dances arranged
Back in the 60s and early 70s l organised approximately 400 dances in towns and villages within 50 mile radius of Carlisle. So I know what it's like when an act is late! In 1973 I went fully professional when social clubs first wanted entertainment. Starting with one band,The Cordettes, l booked them solidly every weekend for 12 months ahead and then took on other bands untill l had about 30 or so.
Long LastingOver 50 Years On
The first social club I booked back then was Christ The King in Harraby, Carlisle. Now known as Harraby Catholic Club, what is now Cumbria's largest social club was just a wooden hut in the car park! Over 40 years on from those early days l still provide entertainment for this venue, an unequivocal affirmation of the kind of long lasting working relationships we strive for here at Andy Park Promotions.
