Float Up CP Joy's Address 1984

We have this. It's very good. Before Neneh Cherry got really big. Wiki

Spin-off group from Rip Rig + Panic, with members Bruce Smith and Neneh Cherry. Song from their 1983 album "Kill Me In The Morning"

Siouxsie And The Banshees - The Staircase (Mystery) (Official Music Video) 1979

 I am not the world's biggest Banshees fan but I like the early stuff and this is I think my favourite 45. Love that riff. Saw them twice about then. Wiki


Here to watch. 

Radstock on Ebay

 Radstock is very popular among railway enthusiasts. I know this as I run a group Old Radstock and a lot of the people who join are usually railway buffs. You can buy model trucks with Somerset collieries Radstock on the panels. Pictures like this one are popular subjects for prints. This one is 1960. My Grandfather was an engine driver there but I expect I have already mentioned that.


Bill Haley and the Comets 1974 Wheeltappers and Shunters Social club


 Here. They had some great turns on this show not that I am a Bill Haley fan. 

The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club

 


Noticed they are rescreening this comedy and variety show from 1974-77 on Talking Pictures. December 1st. I shall be there. I used to love it. Basically it's a faux working men's club from up North. Wiki

Shepton Mallet A Visible History

 I can't resist books on local history in the Charity shops. I got this one today. Shepton Mallet is a bus ride away. Monmouth's army went there twice. Nothing about the Rebellion in this tome. Buy it here


Spectrum Angels

 Jet fighters from Captain Scarlet & the Mysterons (1967). Probably my first crush. 



Had this kit which my Dad made. Those days he made them and I watched. I think he liked doing it. Used to be exciting waking up to find he had done a lot of work on it.

Easybeats Friday on my mind 1966

 Here. A worldwide hit. Read about it here


American Hot Wax [1978 Full Movie--best available version]

 I saw this at the cinema. It has people like Chuck and Jerry Lee playing themselves. Includes Screamin' Jay.

It also featured musical performances by Chuck BerryJerry Lee LewisFrankie FordScreamin' Jay Hawkins, and Brooklyn Dreams as "Professor La Plano and The Planotones". The film was not a box-office success.

T. Rex Mambo Sun 1971

 Electric Warrior Susan got me into T. Rex. I didn't like them at the time. I saw the Bolan Movie at the cinema in a double bill of something good and I found it dull. 

The Chanters ( W / siren Ethel Brown ) - She Wants to Mambo

 Here. Don't know the date. 

Bridgwater Carnival Livestream

 Our whole family usually log onto this. My son and his wife live in Liverpool but enjoy it. 


Here on Saturday night. Should be fun. Bridgwater is epic and if you hang on for the squibbing that's fun too. 

Hey Bo Diddley 1965
