| 00:00:00-00:00:24 | Introduction of interview, including date, names and participant place of birth. |
| 00:00:25-00:01:12 | Situating memories of the jukebox and coffee bars |
| 00:01:13-00:02:19 | Reselling of hosiery at coffee bars |
| 00:02:20-00:05:12 | The coffee bar he was a regular at (The Caprese?) – where he would adjust the jukebox’s volume – and another coffee bar; he comments on liking Helen Shapiro and the time he spent at the coffee bars |
| 00:05:13-00:05:47 | Elaboration on reselling nylons |
| 00:05:48-07:03 | A smaller jukebox unit |
| 00:07:04-00:09:20 | The floral hall – a dance place on Tuesday nights |
| 00:09:21-00:11:57 | How people put music on – deals, taking turns, artists that stuck out; seeing live music and what music was for the time and people’s |
| 00:11:58-00:13:44 | Who would be at the coffee bar (friends); growing up and moving on |
| 00:13:45-00:15:22 | Starting a business with a van: selling potatoes and working as transport for local bands. |
| 00:15:23-00:18:48 | How long the jukebox stayed around (peaking in the 60s) and how common coffee bars were; although it’s not clear to track it due to different environments at different stages of life. |
| 00:18:49-00:21:26 | On a van job with a local band in Ingleton village hall, a band member asks him to not tell a girl about his main job (dustbin man) |
| 00:21:27-00:23:20 | The house(s) of his early life; mostly boarding houses, for renting, in the area, which changed |
| 00:23:21-00:26:20 | Elaboration on coffee bars as somewhere to go at that time in people’s lives; mention of probable first time seeing a jukebox and coffee bar workers |

| 00:27:21-00:28:17 | How jukebox music contributed to the atmosphere. |

| 00:31:43-00:33:18 | The music listened to at the time (e.g. on the radio) |
| 00:33:19-00:34:24 | The locations of coffee bars |
| 00:34:24-00:36:20 | Hearing music from outside and getting in trouble from turning it up: one could have fun without hurting anybody, although there were fights – such as in Wake Weeks |
| 00:36:21-00:40:21 | Differences in jukeboxes over time, but tracked it less growing up; cheap holidays abroad changed how people – especially the young – spent their time; you can’t relive the past |
| 00:40:22-00:41:45 | Differences in jukeboxes from place to place, a local company did slot machines and jukeboxes |
| 00:41:46-00:43:43 | Friends and their early employment pathways |
| 43:44-51:20 | A story (of growing up) with a friend, involving buying a car, leaving it overnight in Lancaster, getting it fixed up, towing it back with his father after he learned about the car, and getting it sold |
