Actor who was in 6th BB , Dennis McCarthy radio, Billy Baxter footballer ,used to help out in board school. Do you know any pop stars who played at the Cavo I know they did but can't remember who?

This is me and my mother taken outside 58 Duncombe Street. We used to visit Grandma every Saturday. Aunty Doris who still lived at home with Grandma had just bought a Brownie Box camera and was always taking photos. I remember Mr and Mrs Christian living at Number 56 and Mrs Hilda Thornton the other side at 60. She had a nasty little Pekinese called Tootsie that I was terrified of. (Joy Spence)
