AN age defined by glam rock, industrial action and the rise of punk is set to be immortalised by an Hoylake author.

Journalist Jade Wright wants to find as many memories, photographs and memorabilia as possible from people across Wirral for her new novel The Dirty Stop Outs’ Guide to 1970s Liverpool.

Perhaps you frequented the Golden Guinea or the Chelsea Reach or saw Kate Bush at the Empire or Queen at The Cavern – if you have any quirky stories Jade wants to hear them.

Jade said: “I’m delighted that Merseyside is now getting the Dirty Stop Out treatment where better when it comes to music, fashion and a love of going out?

“I want this book to truly represent 1970s Wirral; to be everybody’s scrapbook of a great time in their lives, and for that, I need your input.

“It was an era of flamboyant fashion, industrial action and dancing round handbags.

“There was so much going on across Merseyside – in Liverpool but also in Wirral and all the areas around and I really want to get that right, by including memories from people who were there, and have the t-shirt so to speak.

“This is a people’s history, looking at the decade through the eyes of those who lived it – flares and all.

“I’d love to be able to share your stories and pictures of a great time in the area’s history.”
