Here. I used to watch this as a kid. Did you?

Midsomer Norton High Street by Susan

Quite a lot of shops have posters in the Windows saying No to Parking charges. Council want to do this and the High Street is resisting. It is lively at moment.

Elmore James Look on Yonder wall 1961

Sammy Myers on harmonica. I had this song as a teenager and I loved it.

Bow Wow Wow - Where's My Snake? 1982 released 84

Here from the 1982 film, Scandalous. This clip is worth watching. Captures the feel of a gig at that time.

Some pics by Susan of Radstock earlier today.

Bow Wow Wow - Do You Wanna Hold Me [HD] 1983

Here. This I did like in 83. I think they split up in 84. Wiki

Southern Death Cult Live England 1983

Here. I wasn't a fan but I think we bought one single. They were about at the time we were giving up music.

Ladybird People at Work: the Miner

40 years ago we were in the midst of the 1984-5 Miners strike

FRANK CHICKENS Blue Canary (1984)

Here. While in Japan (or a version of it) what about this band? We bought their records. Or at least two of them. Our daughters used to like this one.

Hashimoto San

Here for another Terrytoons cartoon lost in the fog of childhood. Susan doesn't really remember this but I do. Wiki. Probably my introduction to Japanese culture.

Deputy Dawg Rebel Trouble

Here. I used to love Deputy Dawg. I think the vocal characterizations were particularly appealing and the western theme would have also been fun to me. 1960-64.

Raising a glass to the unique Adge Cutler.

The band sing their song 'Drink Up Thy Zider' before some factory workers who enjoy a glass of cider and sing along. Watch an hour long documentary on Adge

Today 50 years ago Adge Cutler was killed

BBC article about the original Wurzel who was killed in a car crash. I saw him live at a sort of big in Frome. On the trading estate. There were fireworks and a lot of drunk grown ups.

THE ALL NIGHT WORKERS Why don't you smile 1965

Here. An early Lou Reed Jon Cale song. Covered by the Downliners Sect. Heard on the Mal Thursday show on Boss Radio 66.

Police at Middle Pit Radstock in 1926

From Chris Howell's book 'I have heard tell'.

Bad Detectives publicity photos 1978

Here we are in a studio in Bath street Frome. Photographs by Ian Mackay, brother of Dave. He was an ex-printer. We needed the pics as we were entering a battle of the bands at the Hexagon Suite Frome. We didn't take it too seriously. Iran's home made bass amp blew up but when I talked to him about it be had no memory of it. If you notice the drummer Bunse looks very young. He was but we didn't have any trouble playing pubs. People didn't worry about that sort of thing in those days. Me and Ivan were 18. Henry about 21.

Behind the Counter the Fall 1993

Here for a great song. The artist doing the Fall covers in that era was Pascal Is Gras. See his covers here

Every car I see
Is always picking on me
They take a left turn when I cross, guaranteed
They park on the pavement

Middle Class Revolt.

Wiki From 3 May. It's the anniversary of Middle Class Revolt today, released on this day in 1994. Spotify

Bonnie and Clyde Serge Gainsbourg Brigitte Bardot 1968

Great song. You don't need to know French to enjoy it. A 60s classic.
