Nah, solid colours. I don’t think they did a pin stripe mohair.  I did have a really nice pin stripe blazer at the time though. It was a bit “ Small Faces “ style

I think I know what you mean by that. 

I wish I'd have gone for pinstripes now but I bottled it and went for black. 

Also, when I get that time machine fired up I'll let myself know that getting measure for a suit when you're 20 and weigh about 70kg isn't great forward planning.

Thankfully my choices in guitars were more insightful.

My last suit was a dark navy blue with a fine green pin stripe. Nice but I never wear it now. It’s in the wardrobe along with my forty silk ties.  Off the peg, not made to measure, it’s not the same.

What were the new tunes like?

I love how he plays new tunes and not just a cabaret act.

[oldjamfan1]

The one he wrote with Noel Gallagher (called Jumble Queen) is an absolute banger!

Not sure about Soul Wanderings but the other slow new one, Nothing, sounds lovely. 
 

I have also heard three others from ‘66’ played acoustically at a charity show in December. There’s one called Ship of Fools, a co-write with Suggs, that sounds amazing.

Im glad he dropped Town Called Malice from the set last night.

Highlight for me was a song called Rockets from the On Sunset album. Nailed it! Also, as a mod I was delighted when his bass player came up to me before the gig in the Drummers Arms and asked me about the top I was wearing 😎😉✊🏻🍻

What top was that?

Were you rocking a nice pair of Bruno Maglis?

I see he was playing a “ Burns “ bass.

Out of his league.

It was the same style top that John Lennon wore in the ‘Help’ video. 
 

I had my trusty Adidas Japan trainers on mate, Bruno Maglis too good for gigs 😉

Not into them Japan ones tbh. Spezials or Munchens for me. I'm also partial to diadora, maybe because I grew up in the 90s.

They had some proper nice clobber in the mid 60s. The tunes weren't bad either.

People wear trainers for everything now. I remember getting my first pair in about 1966. Light Blue “ Adidas “ leather ones , I can’t recall the name. I must have been the first in Rochdale. I had to order them specially from our local sports shop. Pre season we’d been training on our local pitch and we went to the pub after for a shandy. I didn’t bother taking them off and when we walked into the pub it was like I had two heads ! All the old blokes were staring at them and muttering into their pints of mild.

Remember when you could actually ask a shop owner to order something for you and they would ? 
 

I was looking through some of my mums old photos the other day and I came across one I’d had taken by one of those freelance photographs that lurked around main streets in the day and pubs at night. They’d take your photo for a small fee, take your name and address, and post the photo on to you later.
 

Oliver Reed plays one in the film “ The System “ which is all about similar guys at a seaside resort. It’s on YouTube if you ever have a spare 90 minutes.

I’d be about 19, I think I’d just been for an interview, and I was wearing my Sunday Best. Navy blue 3 button mohair suit, a sort of paisley tie and a light blue silk pocket hanky. Made to measure at “ Mr Senior “. Everybody my age dressed like that then. Casual clothes were only just emerging on the scene. You’d wear a suit to go to the football !

I remember buying a pair of diadora 'explorer' trainers from Gibsons sports in Blackburn back in mid 80's. Illuminous green 😁, just googled them, can't find any pics.

You’ll have to describe the top.

Just go to a park and ride and take the tram there - your ticket gives you a free ride. And no one has to eat and drink in an arena and high prices can’t be a surprise - they’re high everywhere.

That's even worse than a test match. And they can't even build the place on time.
