THE early 90s brought us bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Green Day.
But one band in Up Holland were searching for fame and fortune, on the verge of their big break and would become one of the biggest names in the Brit-pop movement.
They were of course, The Verve, fronted by lead singer Richard Ashcroft. All four members were students at Up Holland High School.
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.
