Ralphadeus. Music movies comics feature in this look at life from Somerset.
Notes on YouTube say: How rare can you get? This is the first part of the notorious Philles single (Let's Dance) The Screw - Parts 1 and 2. This is just 4:30 of the nearly 10:00 both parts take up. Notice the high soprano done by Dee Dee Kenniebrew. Released in 1963 as a single then withdrawn. This was taken from a 1970's bootleg of the record. Part 2 also available (if you can stand this one!) Enjoy!

I was so chuffed to find this epic western in my local charity shop. Restored 2-disc DVD. Trailer. It flopped badly but we saw it at the cinema and were most taken by it. Wiki.
Had a great cast including the talented Isabelle Huppert (pictured) who was a favourite from French movies. Probably what made me want to see it at the cinema as I was a fan.

đź–¤MINING AND THE SOMERSET COALFIELDđź–¤ -LOCAL HISTORY TALK BY SHANE GOULD.
2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the closure of the last colliery in Somerset and with it the end of a long history of coal mining in the Somerset area. Shane Gould has carried out in depth research into the local industry discovering the lost remains of some of the older collieries along the way. His illustrated talk takes you through the story of local coal from the Roman times to 1973 with recent photos of some of the remains of the colliery sites that can still be seen today. This fascinating, revealing talk is one not to be missed for anyone who wants to learn about how coal mining shaped the area in which we live today, it will also be of great interest to former colliery workers and their descendants and anyone interested in history generally.
Tuesday 4th April 7:30pm Somer Centre, Midsomer Norton. £5 admission and raffle with all proceeds going to Radstock Museum.
This is a great video. Song is good too.

I had this for my sixth birthday in June 1966. My brother was born the day before. I remember I lost the removable firemen figures in the grass and the visiting nurse helped me find them. Not my pic. Off an auction site. Mine is long gone.
Not the most original of bluesmen but his stuff is enjoyable and that counts for a lot.
On the tv show Musik laden.Came out March 2 50 years ago. Wasn't on the Tanx album for some reason.
This album is nearly 50 years old. Spotify deluxe edition here. Didn't like it at the time but I like it now. Give it a whirl. Some well made songs on there. Not a good cover I feel.
This is a great album which I have on vinyl. Not an album as such more a compilation of sides. But very good. A lot of different styles by Sonny Boy - he was definitely not a one-trick pony!
