I first came across him when we booked 'Lambs of the World' into the 360 club. He was I think 16 and lead guitarist of what was essentially Clive Lynch (aka Nottm's Lord Sutch)'s band. At that time Mick Vaughan was widely regarded as a very good guitarist for his age and I have to say he acted the part..  Here's a link to a page on Lambs of the World and their later careers.  https://playedinaband.com/lambs_of_the_world.htm  Mick Vaughan later joined Paper Lace and the rest is history. Young Vaughany was always very keen to get 'in shot' when they were on the telly.  Clive (Sutch) Lynch now works solo as Carrington Brookes.  And Lizzie, our mutual friend Graham Wyvill joined Paper Lace later, and later still The Billy Fury Story, along with , I think John Raynor. And that's the simplified version.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,730 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 So, after spending yesterday at a family gathering at my daughter's, for which the weather allowed us to sit outside for at least part of the time and then managing to get grass cutting etc., done today without getting wet.. I got to thinking about Summery songs.. Â Â Â Even 'oblique' references.. Â Â Then somehow the songs got a bit more sophisticated... Â Â Â Add your own faves!

DJ360 6,730 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 Finding that Acker Track above, reminded me of what is probably my all time favourite Clarinet blues...  Wally Plays the Blues, from the 1954 live album 'Humph at the Conway', by Humphrey Lyttelton and His Band of which I have a very rough copy..minus cover.. acquired about 1960.  Wally Fawkes, as well as being a very fine clarinet player, was possibly better known as the cartoonist Trog. He only died about a year ago..aged 98.  https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/mar/07/wally-fawkes-obituary  Arguments rage around 'Traditional' Jazz, with many 'purists' looking down on it and questioning its 'authenticity', but for me if it sounds good, it is good... and this sounds superb.. An epic blues, which plumbs the depths of misery, but seems to finish much more hopefully.. That's how I hear it anyway...   Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,600 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 I remember all those songs too, but the ones which produced the most vivid memories were the ones pre 1962.   I associated each of these early songs with  different places and people and I feel so sad that those days are gone forever and many  of the lads and lasses I used to go round with will quite possibly no longer be here…..   Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 Running through that lot shows an interesting cultural change.  In the first few years all the artists look like identikit younger versions of older people....dressing like their parents. It's only when the Rolling Stones appear in 1965 that young people start having their own identity which doesn’t involve copying what went before. (even the Beatles continued to wear suits and ties in those early years). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
