zab replied to mick2me's topic in Nick Palmer's Nottstalgia General Music Chat.
A difficult choice but think it would have to be either Led Zeppelin III or Exile On Main Street. -

When I was a teenager the two most popular haunts this side of town were The Grosvenor and The White Hart - both used to be packed, both did meals and both had a relatively young clientèle.

The Grosvenor has had its problems but has survived, perhaps, the nearby college has helped but, more

The White Hart in Arnold has also been demolished, it's been boarded up for at least a couple of years.

Before St Paul’s church was built Daybrook was partly in the parish of St Mary’s, Arnold and partly in St John’s, Carrington.

It looks like Wollaton Hall is going in be used as Wayne Manor in the next Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises. The Park will be closed for a couple of weeks between June 20th until July 6th http://batman-news.com/2011/06/07/wollaton-hall-to-be-wayne-manor-in-the-dark-knight-rises/

I think Craig needs some specs! There's only one name I can give you and that is 2nd row from the top, 4th from the left is Nigel Gibson - I'm still in touch with him and his brother, in fact they both came to the Gaffa gig on Saturday. -
