The Merry Fiddlers. (As featured in Heritage Promoters and Pubs).

Hi John ;

Thanks for your reply........ I will enclose a programme from Mon 26th Aug 1935, and some dates from one of my many notebooks.

Best for now Mike.....

correction....it was Max Bygraves Brother who played the piano in the Pub..........

Best for now Mike Hallinan.

I think afternoon boxing went on as well and was done in playing fields overlooked by the pub. They even had a football team in the 1930's. The pub must have done a roaring trade.

As he was masked and didn't unmask, because of being whipped away very quickly, I can't say for sure.

I had seen Bill Coverdale earlier at Newcastle, but this "Ghoul" looked more slimmer and lighter than the one I remembered.

But was Coverdale even the Ghoul thar night ?

It was a wrestling venue for a surprisingly long time. A surprise to me, at least.

A blast from the past. Yes, I went there a few times in the late 50's early 60's.

I don't know about a bogus Ghoul, because we now know that Bill Coverdale took over from "my Ghoul".

I wasn't impressed though.

A great addition John. A place so often mentioned but so little known. I think Bernard had memories.

Love it!
