Hello Everyone

Hello Everyone

It's good to have this new site. We've worked hard to make a lot of improvements and hopefully you'll find it interesting.

There are a lot of things / items from the past to find and we'll be adding music, info, pics,thoughts etc as and when they turn up; it's been quite a journey from 1982 when The Smiths formed to now so who knows what might happen.

Ok, thanks for the visit, and good luck to all of us.
