I remember the Liverpool Show.
The first incarnation of the show lasted until 1978, I remember very vaguely (I was born in 1976!) that my parents and a neighbour walked around it. My mum went on the waltzers (her last fairground ride ever) and my dad took me to a rifle range where he won a red and white gonk for me-I loved that gonk for years! My mum told me that it was held in the summer back then.
The second incarnation I remember very well. It restarted in 1993, that year there was some kind of bungee thing for the public and it was massive. It was either that year or 1994 that World's apart were playing, I WASN'T a fan but just remember them being on. I also saw Peter Andre from the beer tent (probably the best place if you have to see Peter Andre!) in 1996. The event was getting noticeably smaller and more expensive each year, also, Radio City seemed to stop doing live broadcasts from the stage. The admission fees didn't help and by 2000 it was my last visit. I have some photos of that back at my parents....going to have to do some serious scanning when I visit the 'pool!

The Woolton Show was held every August Bank Holiday. I last remember going about 1990 when I lost a watch which I liked. Don't know when it stopped but it is a real shame.
