Radstock this Morning by Susan

 

Have Love Will Travel Sonics 1965

 Great version of the Richard Berry classic. This song was used in a car commercial in the 2000s. Never could play this guitar lick.  The Sonics

Lightnin' Hopkins Live 1964

 

Here

C'mon and Swim Bobby Freeman 1964

 A useful dance to be able to do.

 Here. Who remembers this film? I do. Sort of typical 1984. Wiki

Radstock Heritage Trail

 Radstock now has boards with a Heritage Trail which is nice. 

Dick Dale Misirlou 1963

 Taken from the film "A Swingin Affair" released in 1963. John Peel was a big Dick Dale fan - not sure how many sessions he did but at the time it seemed a lot though we weren't complaining.  

Pulp Fiction (1994) anniversary

 Yesterday the 30th of the U.S. release. Did you see it? I remember everyone talking about it and Tarantino in particular. Wiki. The soundtrack was big too. We had it with the sound bites from the movie. 

Frome Museum

 Please come to the fabulous new exhibition at the Museum, which starts on 15th October and runs until 16th November.

   100 Years of Frome Memorial Theatre

Frome Memorial Hall was opened in 1924, built by public subscription in memory of those from Frome and the surrounding areas who died in the Great War. Over the years the site has been a theatre, a cinema, a dancehall and an events venue. Visit our new exhibition to find out more about its fascinating history.

The museum is open from 10.00am to 2.00pm Tuesdays to Saturdays, and on Frome Independent Market Sundays.

Arthur Alexander The Girl That Radiates That Charm 1960

Wiki on Arthur Alexander. Listen here

Quoting the wiki

'Alexander is the only songwriter whose songs have been covered on studio albums by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan (who recorded "Sally Sue Brown" on his 1988 LP Down in the Groove).^[6] In 1987, Paul McCartney claimed that "If the Beatles wanted a sound, it was R&B. That's what we used to listen to and what we wanted to be like. Black, that was basically it. Arthur Alexander."^[7]'

Somerset Carnivals

 So coming soon is the Carnival season. Kicks off Bonfire night in Bridgwater. Midsomer Norton is the 11th of November. This book they have in our library which is good as it's expensive. We usually watch from Celia's balcony with hot dogs and onions. Probably the high point of Norton's year. You can watch Bridgwater online live. I will post a link nearer the day. 

Third House Inside Outside promo #1

 Here. New project from our favourite drummer Dave Barbarossa. 

Wings (1977) Season 1 Ep 1

 

Here. Susan and I have been watching this old BBC series about the early days of the Royal Flying Corps. Very enjoyable. Didn't watch it in 77 was too busy. But give it a spin it's very well done. Wiki

Red Hot and the Sans Culottes 1984

 This was a crazy project we did as a. swan song in 84. Teamed up with a rockabilly trio (stand up drum and upright bass) with Gavin Lusby on guitar me on harp and recorded a couple of old songs. I don't think we sent any out but we might have. Listen here. It's not brilliant. 

The Ostrich The Primitives (Lou Reed) 1964

 Just heard on Boss Radio 66

Here for a very interesting record. Very ahead of the time.
