Deepdene Boy 642 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Jerusalem always meks the hairs on the back of mi neck stand up. More patriotic for this Englishman than God Save the Queen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mercurydancer 1,104 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I did not go into the Grand much. I dont know why. Possibly because the beer was awful. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 Thanks for that Mick. Last night of the proms can bring a tear. Nobody can do that quite like the Brits.. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't find it on a couple of the free music sites I hang around on. Maybe I'd better wait. Still struggling with some of the chords in Albinoni's Adagio. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,878 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 If England cricket team are playing at Trent Bridge, Jerusalem is played just before 11am, even outside the ground the atmosphere is brilliant. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I always thought it was a Bass house? I'd ask me Uncle Sid, the 3rd funniest man I've known, he used to preform there, But I'd have to dig him up. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mercurydancer 1,104 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Yes it was a Bass house. Bass used to be a decent pint but I never had one at the Grand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Bass it was then but when you're a teenager beer is beer, other more important things on a spotty faced 17 year olds face to think about ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,336 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I clearly recall seeing Mitchell & Butler on the gable end of Le Grand. One reason why my father never went there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,535 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 My Grandfather did a lot of his drinking in Le Grand - and he did A LOT of drinking! He was a Mitchells and Butlers man! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 It was the Le Grand or the Clock on Birkin Ave if I fancied a bit of rough ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
