denshaw 2,812 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Last year Trent Bridge cricket ground was voted the second best sporting venue for a day out, first was Wimbledon. Trent Bridge was also voted the friendliest cricket ground in the country. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IAN123. 9,325 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Used presently by Applemans Cider for their ad campaign. Instrumental working of The Last Time..by Rolling Stones. Bill's homemade bass can be heard. David Whitfield worked with them also. Pity The Verve didn't ask permission- Ouch!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted May 10, 2018 Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 Sorry about this Ian but as a Stones addict this is bloody awful. I remember sitting in a café in Matlock Bath 1965 having breakfast before going caving and hearing this for the first time, hooked on the Stones ever since. 'Now I've told you once and I've told you twice' .................this is bloody awful 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN123. 9,325 Posted May 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 The original is far superior Colin..i totally agree. I think the stones manager had a mancrush on phil spector and attempted to copy him Quote Link to post Share on other sites
