  1. I remember it well, as I was a photographer for GBH. Met, and photographed lots of fascinating people.
    At my time Ronny Prophet was entertaining at the Union Jack Club, and the Living Dolls in the ballroom.
    Miss everything about my time there. Now living in the Yukon, what a difference.
