colly0410 1,189 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 This one is for you, colly0410. It's the Shadows on 'The Multi-Coloured Swap Shop' with Noel Edmonds in 1981. 'Telstar' was my Mums favourite tune so it's a bit of nostalgia for me, also. Thanks for the link Michael, I've never heard that version of Telstar before, I like it..

colly0410 1,189 Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Just watched the "joy of easy listening" I recorded on BBC4 from last night. Most of the tunes they discussed were instrumentals, I really enjoyed it.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,274 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 I thought you were referring to Bert Weedon. His guitar tutor ‘Play in a Day’ was used by all budding guitarists in the 50/60’s. I think the title ‘Play in a Day’ was overstretching it somewhat though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 829 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Then there was Judd Proctor ' The Plainsman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,547 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 To me this perfectly evokes growing up in the late 50s-early 60s more than just about any other piece of music. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Willow wilson 898 Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Bert Weedon? I think most budding guitarists in my sphere in 1959 had a go at this one The Shadows did a good cover of this in the 70s?? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Knew the tune as soon as it started playing but strangely never knew the title of the piece. Yes very evocative of the era.

IAN FINN 829 Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Think Burt Weedon played an instrumental called the Plainsman i have it in the archives some where from the early 60s recorded from the Jack Jackson show on the radio great music back then.

philmayfield 6,274 Posted August 11, 2023 Report Share Posted August 11, 2023 Burt Weedon’s ‘Play in a Day’ guitar tutor was something all we aspiring guitarists purchased. ‘Play in a Day’ was something of a misnomer though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
