    The Shadows - "Wonderful Land" - What a load of shite.

    Can't be having that CE It was a great year: lovely summer, first decent motorbike, holiday romance, first pay packet, and the Shads remind me of it all every time I hear them. Could still do 'the Shadows Walk' if it wasn't for me trouble!

    B. Bumble & The Stingers - "Nut Rocker"

    Eddie Calvert - "Cherry Pink And Apple Blossom White"

    Me too.

    Never even 'eard of him.


    EDIT: Perhaps he's related to Wayne Bridge?


    Never heard of "The man with the golden trumpet"? - Tsk tsk Oggy. Brush up on your musical history young man... :-D
  • The Shadows - Apache

    That strat........ red I understand, these guys were great, and are great.
    Regarded as Cliff's backing band, they were a lot more than that, and Hank, the only guy except Buddy Holly who was an early icon.
    Along with Lonnie Donegan, who almost invented the british rock/skiffel sound.
    Hank must have inspired thousands of young teenager's to take up the guitar.
    Of course I was more into Page and Clapton/Beck, re: Yardbirds/Bluesbreakers, before Hendrix and Gallagher.
    For some one who was into progressive blues I have not progressed one step forward in 40 years, but then I do not think the guitar has either.

  • Joe Brown was very highly rated at the time too Ken.
  • Before the Singles Chart was started: Nat King Cole - Unforgetable.

    I still have all my own teeth as well. Sadly the old radiogram has long gone!
  • Take That............. Patience.
  • Joe Brown was very highly rated at the time too Ken.

    Still is - he's had a bit of a reassessment methinks.

  • Most of the girls seem to be passing on this thread - think I will keep it that way ;-)

    Remember seeing Eddie Calvert at the flic house in Woolwich, I think it was the Odeon, playing live.

    Along with Bert Weedon's, Play In A Day. I remember learning the chord of C that day, if I'd learned two more, who knows, I might have been a member of Status Quo.

    Because there's something in the air
    We've got to get together sooner or later
    Because the revolution's here, and you know it's right
    And you know that it's right
