What a great song by Another Fine Mess in my mind it sums up Nottingham perfectly. The Best Nottingham song yet. Just listened to Christmas Time by the same band, must look up more of their music.

Still can't see the video, may be some "country" thing. Now I know the title I went straight to YT and after scrolling for ten minutes still can't find it. I give up! Never did like Frank Ifield's half singing and half yodeling anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Angel 138 Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 @Oztalgian: agree with you about Frank Ifield, although he was a housewife’s favourite in the 1960’s. However, he does a reasonable job with this song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Newarker 22 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 The Post website has one of their compilations of nostalgia photos from the 1980s. There is a picture captioned "Paper Lace musician Mick Vaughan joins Cllr Dennis Birkinshaw to promote a record commissioned by the council - 'Nottingham' There are copies available on line of a record called Nottingham written by Mick Vaughan and Phil Wright of Paper Lace and recorded by Sheriff, release on the A.OK label in 1983. Can anybody provide a link to the song? If it was written by guys from PL you would think it might be reasonably commercial but l had never heard of it before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 This seems to be it. It's so awful it's brilliant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Interesting lyrics…. ’Nottingham, no-one could change you, Robin Hood would turn in his grave’ There’s been lots of changes so the man in green tights must be really spinning! I’m still fond of the place though, even if it’s very different from when I was young….. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,712 Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Oh dear!!!.. Singing the praises of 'Nodd- Ing-Ham' with an American accent, in an over-produced pile of tosh..?? Sorry..no... Just..No.. I'd take the Frank Ifield over this. I knew Mick Vaughan before he was in Paper Lace and.. well..I'll leave it there.. As it is, my Mum was a huge fan of Ifield. He, in turn, was a big fan of Hank Williams, and of Slim Whitman. Mum had an album with these songs by Ifield. Sorry..it's not Nottingham, but whether or not you like his style, old Aussie Frank could sing.. After Whitman... After Hank Williams: Frank is now 84 and still with us.

Yes at Pleasley Pit I often get water in my eyes when I hear this thinking of my family, grandad, Dad and late brother who were all coal miners. This has the same effect, it is Gresford, The Miners Hymn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When we were x-raying there, we were invited to the winding house to take look. I was amazed at the size of the winding drum. The winder sat in a sort of reclining armchair, with controls on both sides of him. Wish I had a camera in those days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
