  1. I'm with you Limey. My wife has just got over an operation to remove a lump from her breast, which turned out to be cancer, after radiotherapy I am please to say that she has been completely cured - they obviously found it in time, but I know that there are countless thousands who are diagnosed and are not so lucky as my wife has been. Although I sympathise with Jade Goody in the fact that she has cancer I do think she is jumping on the band wagon to get money for her kids, very comendable but what about the thousands who can't do that and 'just get on with it'! It wasn'tso long ago that she was being slated for being a racist on big brother!!!!

  2. Hi Baz

    Welcome to this great site. I am also into Rock and Roll (stood the test of time) I used to know Rockin Ray very well, he used to play at the 'Jolly Farmers' at Ruddington for a couple of years. I've also seen him at the Talbot (Yates). What preference do you have to singers - I'm, as everyone on here will probably tell you, into Mr Elvis Aaron Presley.

    Keep on Rockin!

  3. I remember about 30 years ago using a watering hole called 'The Mechanics Arms' on Alfred Street North. It was I believe, the only Davenports House in Nottingham. Used to be run by a dear old couple called Ron and Beatty. a good open mike sing song on a Friday and Saturday night. I believe it became an Irish bar after that though I don't know what it is now!

  4. I go to rock and roll events at Hemsby, which has two events a year lasting about 5 days each. People come from all over Europe with 1950 Coup de Villes and the like. Every one dresses for the event, 'Ted Suits etc' Many groups from Europe and the States. It used to be held at Pontins but I think they got a bit greedy, so it's now held in another holiday camp just across the road.
