Can anyone help re the above photo?
The guys are from a band called Welcome, and the picture was taken in the Victoriana Room at Johnny's in the 70's. All the band members were regulars at the club. Pictured sat on the left is George Gray and in the middle with the top hat is Graham Phillpot who also worked in the Catacombs coffee bar in the 60's.
Does anyone have a better photo or are in contact with any of the band? We would very much like to feature these guys on our History site.

A HAGGIS was piped last night
through the streets of Huddersfield
from the George Hotel to Johnny’s Nightclub.

Accompanied by Scottish dancers,
Pipe Major Peter Whitwam led
the platterful of steaming food along John Williams street and down Kirkgate to the disco for the start of the Burn’s Night celebrations.

At the club, Chieftain Robbie Thompson received the haggis and addressed it with the Burns poem “Ode To Ye Haggis”
before it and another platter of Haggis
were carved up and served to the members.

Entry to the club was free and the
proceeds of the food and drink sales,
with a collection taken at the door,
will go to the Huddersfield Kidney Unit fund.

Seen at the piping of the haggis are (from left) Pipe Major Peter Whitwam, Mr. M. Kaye (commis chef), Mr. G.Whiteley (Head Chef).
