Robert Eaton - Memories of the Bye Street Youthclub, climbing through the gents toilet window to save 50 pence admittance at the Saturday night Disco and watching Radish (I spotted him in my wife's Take a Break magazine in the 90s ,moved up north somewhere ) made up as Alice Cooper doing an entertaining performance to Schools Out. Fun days I could go on this is why I think some sort of reunion is a must. Take care and stay safe everyone
