Does anyone Remember the Milk Race. It ran several years, Bike Races across the country and a main stage was Nottingham, on The Forest. It was sponsored by the Dairy Industry. I remember as a kid around 1965 sitting on top of the pavillion on the Forest watching the Bikes come through. The pace cars were decorated with Milk Marketing ads. I think they had registrations like MOO 1 etc.

I do know the girl you mean, but have not seen her for some years. Mainly because I do not visit town that often now. I think she may have been featured in the post. She was a very tallented girl. Anyone Know what happened to her?

Leaving me mate the only one with no hair. This would have been the Pete the barbers up in St Anns. He only had one hand and plugged his comb and other attachments into a socket on his arm.

For me not a true Trojan Band, not originating from Jamaica. Very good never the less. My first Trojan Record was by The Pioneers... www.vintagegroove.co.uk Imagine the response I got from the staff at Reddifusion record bar, (downstairs, near the Bell Inn). When I asked for it.

Can you remember the Sunday night disco at (Edith) Colemans Dance Hall, Clumber Street. It was'nt licenced and you used to have to sneak out of the fire exit, to the Crystal Palace Pub, to get a drink. I remember a couple of records of the time. Love of the Common People - Nikki Thomas and Neanderthal Man - Hot Legs (later to become 10CC) The latter the girls would sit on the floor, crossing and uncrossing their legs. I remember Edith walking round making them all stand up. It was a wierd place. Rectangular room, with seats round the outside. The crowd would walk round the outside. till

Yes I remember that entrance to Yates, Can you remember the Trio that used to play upstairs in the 60's Piano Violin and another instrument.

Actually, I missed out a major Motown concert, in 1988, Nottingham Theatre Royal. Jimmy Ruffin, The Four Tops, (hit at that time "Going Loco in Acapulco) And the Great Junior Walker How could I forget such an outstanding line up.

I knew you'd get the label but What song comes to mind immediately?

It's me Age 1961! So there actually was a "Papagopolous" So I am not totally bonkers!

What Performances do you most remember?

Edwin is one of the great soul singers of all time. I first saw him in about 1970 at a Small vilage hall type of club which I can't remember north of Nuthall? Anyone any ideas. The next time I saw him I think was 'Intercon', the night club that used to be below the Clocktower entrance to the Victoria Centre. The final time I saw him was in Issabella's Night Club about 1978. At this time he was carrying a lot of weight. I remember him wearing a Kaftan type outfit. Did anyone else see Edwin live anywhere? I did upload the picture to WWW.FINDAGRAVE.COM as they did not yet have an image

I did visit him and HERE IS AN IMAGE OF HIS GRAVE

In 2003 we lost one of the most underated Motown artists. Edwin settled in the UK many years ago, and died at his home in Nottingham in 2003. Since his death I have searched for his location of burial without success. Then I found that his grave was at Wilford Hill. Our member 'BiP' found the exact location :D and on Saturday I was able to get a number of images of his grave and surrounding area with my digital camera. If you wish to visit him, Edwin's grave is located plot No H19-91 in the traditional area at Wilford Hill [southern] cemetery, Nottingham. Climb the path up the hill to t

Thank for those leads Ann. I remember this as "Old Orleans", But you are right it was a 'Berni' But what it was called escapes me. "Griffin & Spalding" I had totally forgotten. This large upmarket store is now of course Debenhams. The scala is another one I forgot. When My mum brought me to Nottingham for a treat in the 50's it was 'The News Theatre'. Also now gone and in the shaddow of Griffin & Spalding on Long Row was Lyons Coffee house, which you entered by climbing a set of steps as I remember.

Not that personally, but at a recent school play attended by parents, I used my digital camera to take our girls pictures, as did oher parents. I had no problems, but understand that this is frowned upon.

Well Dave In those days we really knew how to treat a lady. But where where the other Berni's?
