Ashley Sailor

Ashley Sailor

It must be Stag and let’s get married month, now even though Luke was invited to this one he had to pass, what with his wife Tracey expecting their first and Luke saving up a few passes to do some fishing weekends. So it was up to me to support the team (Simon), Ash Taylor is a legend in the fashion trade, ex session drummer at factory records and then with Peter Hook and Pottsy in Revolver, the one after New order and before Monaco.
Ash retired early from music after a few years of pounding away; his discs in his back started to give way, so he turned to fashion with his best mate Stevie Black at French Connection, if you have ever been in his company you are guaranteed a master class in laughter. Well after a few years living with Michelle they have finally decided to tie the knot.
So in celebration Dublin was chosen as the venue for the stag and a mental weekend on the Guinness and Red Bull.
Ash arrived at Manchester airport to be greeted with his costume for the event, on seeing a Robin outfit he seemed to think he had gotten off easy. Very funny to see the change on Ashes face when Greg turned up as Batman (see pictures) and promptly handcuffed himself to Ash!!! 24hrs of friendship with Greg the dwarf developed. I am desperate to get the film on you tube of the pair of them walking hand in hand through Dublin. Greg was a top bloke and was desperate to carry the party on at 2am on the first night, but Ash was totally finished, the weekend went from comedy club to paintballing to partying, A massive thanks to all involved, from Dermot’s and Andy’s crazy dancing to Carls paintball trickery, Aidey the voice and to all the other top blokes involved in what was another weekend to remember.

Jimmy Roper and some Bloke

james rope

Here we have a couple of friends of Luke, we recognise the one on the right, that’s none other than Jimmy Roper who was thumbing a lift to a fashion show in Milan and this bloke gave him a lift, apparently both where on the way to the same gig, weird? and even stranger they are both fans of LUKE!!

Deano the Window

Deano nails

Well it’s a couple of weeks later now, but I have found 5 minutes break to say a big hello and thanks to the 55 strong from the midlands who made Deano the Window’s stag weekend in Benidorm.
As always we had the funniest of weekends starting in the Ecky at 2am on the Friday Morning.
Big thanks to all the staff Silvo and Ammo for all the hard work; welcoming everyone with a pint and a sandwich.
We then started what seemed the longest day of our lives flying to Benidorm and spending the first day by the pool and the all inclusive bar the lads managed to keep the hotel staff busy throughout the day and then it was glad rags for a mad night on the tiles; in what is Blackpool in the Sun, some of the group managing the feat of going through the night again, you know who we mean Nick the plaster!!
Deano is Luke’s best mate, neighbour and fishing companion, Luke is best man at the forthcoming wedding and had sorted Deano a great old lady costume, see the photos.
We all managed to find a bar where our Matt managed to mess up the bloody online football again. Deano being a Red was crying in his beer when we finally got some football on and Spurs went 2-0 up against Man U, but was as happy as Larry by the end of the game, Nick was still awake. It’s the first time I have gone on a weekend booked a hotel and never seen my room. I hope to see all the crew at the forthcoming wedding in Brum on Saturday 23rd May Best of luck to Deano and Jess from the whole team here.
