    I loved one of Roy Wood's solo hits " Forever".See my baby jive,Rock N Roll Winter ,Ball Park Incident & Angel Fingers were all great pop records with some complex arrangements. He still tours with his band . I saw him at Rock With Laughter show at NEC just before Christmas. Last night I saw Charlie Grima , Wizzard's drummer , join in a jamming session at Old Silhillians Club nr Bham with Mike Sheridan's band. Sheriden & Roy Wood used to be in the Mike Sheriden & the Nightriders.In 1966 Roy left to form the Move and Jeff Lynne joined the Night riders who then changed to The Idle Race .

    I loved "Up the Junction". Classic tune & could have been written by Lennon/McCartney.
  9. It's a fantastic comeback single. She looks great . The most talented of the Spice Girls is back. It's a better version than Bow Wow Wow's and uses the Bo Diddley riff which has been used by many artistes over the years inc Buddy Holly & Rolling Stones. Top 5 cert !!!!!
  10. I queued up for 10 hours outside the NEC on Friday & got front row tickets of block 17 (side of stage) so am chuffed to bits.
  11. Thanks. Im off to Canada tomorrow morning for 2 weeks.

    You make me feel old not knowing what a 7" single is. It only seems like yesterday when all chart singles were on 45 RPM 7" singles. It reminds me of when my Dad used to go on about 78 RPM singles.
  13. Jean Genie is my favourite . It reminds me of junior school discos I went to back in '73 . Everyone used to love this along with Blockbuster,Cum on feel the noize and (dare I say it) anything by GG.
  14. 'Eye Of The Tiger' by Survivor hitting Number 51 almost 24 years since it first topped the charts A Slight mistake here. This was number one in 1982 , so it topped the charts nearly 25 years ago.
  15. I love the swing version of Locomotion
  16. I was searching for details about the Showgirl tour on the web & saw this bad news. Its already on Australian news websites : Kylie cancels British show halfway through Sunday Jan 14 09:53 AEDT Pop star Kylie Minogue, who is on a comeback tour after receiving treatment for breast cancer, pulled out of a British concert Saturday halfway through due to ill health, her spokesman said. Minogue was performing in Manchester, north-west England, when she stopped and cancelled the rest of the show because of flu. She was diagnosed with cancer in May 2005 and had to suspend the Showgirl tour in Australia but resumed performances in her homeland in November 2006. The 38-year-old had surgery for breast cancer in Melbourne in May 2005, followed by a course of chemotherapy in France, where her boyfriend, actor Olivier Martinez, has a home. "Kylie is suffering flu, as are other members of the tour group, including her manager. It is not linked to her breast cancer," a spokesman for the star said. Minogue had launched the British leg of her tour with a New Year's Eve show in London characterised by a series of costume changes and lavish, sequinned and feathered outfits.
  17. Pop princess Kylie walked off stage tonight half-way through a live show blaming a bad bout of flu. The Aussie singer was forced to stop performing at the Manchester Evening News Arena because of the illness, a spokesman said.
  18. No, its is called Stick to the status quo ...nothing to do with Parfitt & Rossi !!
  19. I saw it in Woolies yesterday for £5
  20. That sounds like a good idea as I have entered nearly every one .The results would be more interesting if we wiped the slate clean.

    I saw him live a couple of weeks ago at The Rock With Laughter concert at NEC .He was very funny.
  22. I think I'm gonna miss out the next quiz to give others a chance to catch up
  23. It brought back a lot of memories watching it tonight. Keith Chegwin is still as mad as ever today as he was then.
  24. I don't think that this lot ever came out and revealed who they really were. The popular theory at the time was that it was Ian Dury handling the vocals.It could have been Jona Lewie .
