Monday night Soul Club In The 60’s. I just loved the music and, hopefully, a few dances too. A friend of mine met his future wife there on one of our forays on the dance floor.

We used to go in the old Yates’s for a couple of Docks of white wine with green chartreuse chasers !! Yes, I know, it’s a wonder I’m not blind. Then it was off to the more up market pubs on the Coast. Happy days.

I do it all the time Windy. Like you say, it’s great listening to new sounds and reminiscing of songs that bring back memories of the good old days. The Patti Smith Group - Because The Night

Sam And Dave - You Don’t Know Like I Know Mecca memory

The Shangri-Las - Remember (Walking In The Sand)

Todd Rundgren - I Saw The Light

I was there also with my girlfriend at the time. In the upper tier, right of stage as close as you could get. An absolutely awesome concert, Bowie at the most creative period of his career in my opinion. Probably the best gig I have ever attended and that includes The Stones and Springsteen.

Yes, a good win In difficult conditions. Also, encouraging to see Sibley hit a half century after some poor displays in the previous innings and 1st Test. Crawley still struggling, not sure he will feature in India. Looking forward to the India Test series now with the England team in buoyant mood after this Series win.

Redbone - The Witch Queen Of New Orleans

The Tymes - You Little Trustmaker

It’s not the picture, it’s just us who are slow.

The Teddy Bears - To Know Him Is To Love Him

Sorry, I was oblivious to what was going on. Anyway, like you say, no damage done. And no, you’re not a muppet. Snap- Rhythm Is A Dancer

I was on the Riverside that afternoon, more towards the Blackburn End. As I mentioned in a previous post, when the Four Pennies were in the charts everyone at school was suddenly related to one of them. I was no exception, trying to impress a girl I fancied. It didn’t work.

David Bowie - Life On Mars

Santana - Black Magic Woman

Ike And Tina Turner - River Deep Mountain High

The Miracles - Going To A Go-Go

Carole King - Way Over Yonder

David Bowie - Boys Keep Swinging

The Move - I Can Hear The Grass Grow

The Doors - Who Do You Love

Little Richard - Long Tall Sally

I don’t think it’s Plessy. There are too many houses at the top of the hill for there. They did have a net on a long pole for retrieving the ball from the river, obviously out of reach on this occasion. Although it does seem a little contrived that there just happened to be a photographer on hand to snap Ally taking a dip.
