mick2me 3,033 Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Never knew them, but followed them in Notts. Mention to him Sherwoods Social Club around 1971. And Last time I remember seeing them was at a Barbecue in a big tent tent somewhere A52 near Gamston Canal? Would be great to get their history here, any pictures?

howard irons 2 Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 carls fables I first saw carls fables at the Carlton hotel in the sixties and was hooked with the band right away. I saw them three times a week all over Notts . miners welfares, working mens clubs, 3 60 , Jacksdale, Bingham,Blidworth just to name a few. They would start off with the Everley brothers, then Blueberry blue, I can hear the grass grow, Do I still figure in your life Yellow river and would finish the first stint with Im a man. The second stint would start with da doo ron ron , then john would do Flames,joes writ,and Afghan hound, witch should have been a hit. Then they would play lets spend the night together and always finished with born to be wild, I just wish they recorded there music. Thanks Carl,John,Doug and Pete for great memmories. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Outback Wack 0 Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I remember the Beir Kellar in Nottingham and of course Karl & the Hiedelburgers. Used to go down Sat. nights with a group of friends and then onto the Palias. Also remember Carl Fables playing at Hucknall Miners Welfare when they did the falming coffin & blood stunt.........great nights out. In fact I've got a photo of a group of use at the Beir Kellar I was told recently that Karl from the Hieldleburgers was a resident in a home in Bingham where my ex works.........but not sure if thats correct.

Outback Wack 0 Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I will have to dig out the photo although it is of a bunch of guys I hung around with at the time and not of Karl & the Heidelburgers. Some of them in the photo I'm still in touch with now even though I live in Western Australia, one of the guys Steve Blount lives up in Perth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
