A Romantic interlude in this hectic world.

Mine caught me and I only saw her home after the dance. A hound should be able to run better than that, but I guess I wanted to get caught. Went to the pictures next night. Ritz Carlton. I was living high. Lousy film but neither of us cared. Felt like the Beagle that caught the Rabbit.

Welcome SteveP! I spent a lot of time at The Dungeon, Beachcomber and Boat Clubs. Too much time really, I should have been at home revising for exams but n’er mind, I did OK anyway. My younger brother saw Black Sabbath at Arnold High School Youth Club in the late 60s, before they became big. It’s amazing to think how these performers who really make it big-time just start out in little local venues, the Jaybirds being a prime example!

Also saw ground hogs at Nottm uni plus Roxy Music,T Rex,Sha Na Na Black Sabbath at tha Albert Hall,pretty sure Mott the Hoople wrecked the dressing rooms and that was that!. Don’t forget the boat club,saw some great bands there,one of the best was a band called Wild Turkey. A bit further afield,the great live band ever SAHB at the demons fort and AC/DC,Ian Dury and the blockheads at Derby Assembly Rooms. Fantastic nights

Tap shoes. I'll bet there are loads of them in Bulwell! When we were children, dad put metal segs in our sensible shoes. This made them almost like tap shoes or, as my sister put it, made her sound like a carthorse clip clopping down the road. She hated the sensible shoes dad always bought us as children. She wanted fashionable footwear. As dad said, 'When you're paying for your own shoes, you can have what you like!'

This one Jill ?.............love Donold's shoes.........i'll look in Bulwell ''Charity shops'' bet they have some........

I don't believe I accused them of breaking any laws, I accused them of hypocrisy and where he is concerned it's nothing new.. When in power he was busy raising public indignation about tax evaders then in 2012 there were questions and serious suspicion regarding his tax affairs, the myriad of partnerships he was involved in, complex businesses structures he set up and how he only paid £312k on earnings of £12+million (a bit less than 3% if my maths are correct). Both he and Cherie are highly trained lawyers so no, I don't accused them of breaking any laws, they are far too clever and devi

Didn't there used to be a song with the words, 'A man chases a girl, until she catches him!' Might have been inspired by Ben!

It's my observation after living in three countries that each election cycle the opposition moans how 'orrible the current govt is. They make all kinds of promises to be paid for with your money. Once in they lament that they can't do anything because the last lot left such a fiscal mess. Eventually they get voted out and the last lot gets back in to foul it up some more. Depressing to put it mildly.

Wow! You made me sign in, Ben. Good post. 1963 Was a great year. Met the first Mrs. L at the YMCA Monday night dance. Married for 33 great years. I'd be married to her yet if she'd lived. Enjoyed Nottingham in the 60s.

I adored them! Despite performing as a sort of comedy group....sending up the 1920s/early 30s UK jazz scene..they were all very good musicians. The lead singer 'Whispering' Paul Mc Dowell..continued in acting and other artistic pursuits until he died in 2016. I loved the way that McDowell would stand aside, often leaning casually on a jardiniere or somesuch and smoking a cigar..until it was his turn to sing.. then I'd be worried that he wouldn't get to the mic in time.. He always did. And of course there were 9 of them. When interview

Thanks DJ that is why i can not remember any other songs by them.

I stopped posting in "What You Listening" as not to offend, well I'm music mad & play it 7/8 hours a day, so today I'm listening to the other Mr Williamson, made my day easier, me Dad always got a tune out of an harmonica.
