They were of course, The Verve, fronted by lead singer Richard Ashcroft. All four members were students at Up Holland High School.

Motorcycle fan has still got a lotta throttle

MOTORCYCLE fanatic Tom Melia may be 60, but he’s still young at heart and is gearing up to take part in the Aintree Motor Cycle Sprint.
Tom, who lives in Bispham Green, started racing bikes in the mid-1970s after his neighbour sold him his motorbike.
“It was about 1976, I’d just got married and we had moved to Westhead, when a very good neighbour of ours, Arnold Farrington, offered to sell me the bike,” he says.
