Shirley 1 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I also knew Mick Anson (Cranson), as well as being in the same motorcycle club, we both went to Sensei Asano's classes at Carlton Forum. We would leave together, him on his Black Shadow and myself on my Norton framed Ariel Square Four. He told me about his brother writing Temma Harbour, he also mentioned that his brother was advised to open a Swiss bank account because of money it was bringing in. Re his band, I also knew Sutch, he was a regular at the White Hart,but I cannot remember him ever being in Cranson's band. BTW Cranson had two Vincents at the same time. He was a vegetarian way before it became popular. We went to a veggie restaurant in Leicester in the 60's, I wasn't impressed. It would be another twenty years before I gave up meat. Ok I have found out that Mike was Cranson and the music career was never really a thing for him. He and his family are still all vegetarian. Bob his brother had a big laugh when asked about having a Swiss bank account. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shirley 1 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I always liked Temma Harbour and have an interest in the Apple label. Is Bob really Philamore Lincoln? Yes Bob (My Uncle - no jokes about 'Bobs your Uncle' thank you!) is really Philamore Lincoln. For decades most people have known him as Phil and only a few of us as Bob.

OLDACE 196 Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Cranson and Sue were at the Aces/White Cross reunion at Skeggy in August. He has changed very little since the 60's, Sue had a micro brewery, they've been together almost 40 years and they have three sons. He sold his Vincents for approx £120 each in the 70's.

UK_Guy 0 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Answers for Frank, ans Beefy, I was on air at Trent at the time, and did a comp at the Albany, for which the prize was a radio show for whichever dj won it, what we didnt mention was that it was a one off show! A guy called Phillip won it, it was in association with Stuart Westmoreland, and I still have an Evening Post pic of me, Phillp, and Gary Burton ( now on Smooth) in the studio, with Phillip at the controls, or so it looked like! Now, the hifi shop on Parliament st, was Lind Air first, and then renamed The Land Of Hifi, I had many chums there, in fact im sure i worked there very briefly for some strange reason, for a day at least! A jewish guy called Mike Aarons was the manager back then, with my old chum Ivan/Ivor? who only had one arm, anyone remember him? Ivan was my best man at my wedding in May 1973. Tony Myers and Mike came up from the London store to mange it. And I seem to remember your name Craig. I went from Lind Air to Nottingham Scientific Exchange, then to manage SuperFi in it's original incarnation, and it's them that ran the HiFi show at the Albany hotel in the late 70's. Vince Adams (sadly died since) went on to marry Sue who worked at Radio Trent. Shout if you want me to dust off the Grey cells and come up with more info.

Got my first stereo there in 1967. I was going to buy one of those stereograms, but Pete got me into some seperate stuff. Amp, turntable, speakers etc. Better sound and no more money. Last I heard he had moved to Bobber's Mill and become more upscale, "Peter Anson Electronics." Anyway he was a great guy and gave a fair deal and lots of free advice. BTW I'm not related to him. :-) It became a never ending pursuit of a more powerful amp, needing better speakers, which would mean a better tone arm and moving to a detached house so the neighbors wouldn't complain about my choice of music. Still into that stuff to this day. Maybe I'd hear it better with a hearing aid though? :-) Dave That's where I bought my first hi-fi set up in the Autumn of 1968.: a Rogers Ravensbrook amp, a pair of Kef K2 Celeste speakers and a B&O record deck. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,547 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 That's what's good about Nottstalgia. You post something 12 years ago, and today somebody comes along and comments on it...even though I bet LL had forgotten he ever said it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted May 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I hadn't forgotten I ever said it. Couldn't remember when though. Pete saved me money and gave me better sound in the process. With our sensitive hearing we don't forget that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted May 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 Good point K j. I've said before if one of us dies, no one else knows unless their relatives can access NS. The rest of us just wonder why they quit posting. Mrs. L has my password and instructions to let you know if I bark my last bark If i decided to quit (God forbid) I'd say why. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
