Welcome Baz,,,,

Tell us a bit about yourself,,,,,,,

eeeeerm - Baz

Well, my name's Barry. I'm 66 years old. I was born in Carlton/Mapperley. I went to Cavo school. Left in '57. Went to work in Netherfield by which time I was well into rock 'n' roll and just about starting drinkin' in Trumans, opposite the lions in the square. Found the QE in '58 and the rest is history. LOL. I went past Bottle Lane the other day and damn me, what do I find? A bloody Tesco express where the Ariba used to be. They gettin' everywhere ain't they? No decent pubs in town nowadays so I don't bother goin' much.

I also lived in Carlton/gedling (had a paper-round up Mapperley). Also went to cavo,, but about 6 years after you. Know the Cowlishaw twins ? Same age as you and at cavo same time.

Me - Only drank once in town since 1976,,,,, just a couple on parliament street.

Nice to hear from you baz.

Hi Baz

Welcome to this great site. I am also into Rock and Roll (stood the test of time) I used to know Rockin Ray very well, he used to play at the 'Jolly Farmers' at Ruddington for a couple of years. I've also seen him at the Talbot (Yates). What preference do you have to singers - I'm, as everyone on here will probably tell you, into Mr Elvis Aaron Presley.

Keep on Rockin!

It might surprise you to know I ain't the biggest Elvis fan. I love rock 'n' roll in general and now I'm finding more artists and recordings we ever heard of in the 50's. Thx to downloading. Baz

Yep. I knew the twins, in fact I was looking at friends reunited the other day and they both on there. Baz

I take it you know my mate Hodgo (Clive)

Yep. I've known Hodgo for about 35 years now. In fact I was on the phone to him only last week. He told me he's doing a Cocked Hat reunion at New Venture Club(formerly Plessey Club) at Beeston on 27th march 2009. Funny enough my two lads are respectively, manager and assistant manager there. Baz
