Great post, that is a real early one with Jet Harris on bass and Tony Meehan on drums. Who can forget this one

Same for me Ben, I watched my Dad playing cricket whilst I sat in my pram!  Then he took me to Trent Bridge to watch internationals when I was young.

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.

And rightly so Den.  When the sun is shining it’s a fabulous day out.  We’d go down more often if we didn’t have a dog.

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!!

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 awfulnoblue

The Shadows must have been one of the best, Duane Eddy, and his "tawny" guitar, Eric Clapton, just to name a few.
