Saw him at The Bridge House, Canning Town about 30 years ago. Brilliant! Stayed back for afters and everyone got pilled up or drunk.

Also saw Dire Straights there in their pre-Sultans Of Swing days. AFAIK Drury died a few years ago.

Rory gone to his home town too.

Beautiful song Mike

Hey Mods ......... can you delete the above entries please. Cannot post Fairytale of New York (TOTP one). Everything fine in the preview thingy but when I post .......... only my words appear. Is it 'cause I is Irish?

I always liked this tune (Fairytale of New York), but why oh why do adults play it for kiddies' Christmas parties - the words are very inappropriate for tiny tots! And they are pretty quick to pick 'em up, the rascals!

looksee · 27-12-2011 11:21am

I haven't heard this song once this Christmas, usually it would be everywhere, but it seems to have vanished!

Spread · 27-12-2011 2:35pm

Hey looksee, where do you live? It is unheard of here also. Some of the young Americans that visited chez-nous over the last few weeks loved it. We aim to do some minor distribution next Christmas

looksee · 27-12-2011 4:29pm

Oh I live in Waterford, Ireland, which is why its surprising that I haven't heard it, usually its all over the radio and corrupted versions in shops (ie not shane of the orrible teeth!)

Jellybaby1 · 28-12-2011 1:40am

I've seen it with Shane on the TV just a couple of days ago. I think it was a TOTP Christmas hits revisit.

Jellybaby1 · 10-05-2012 9:23pm

Foxinsox first posted here with “Let's show them youngwans what real music is all about!” and as I wanted to know how to add the Youtube linky thing, and as it’s been quiet in here, I thought you’d like a reminder of these talented boyos! Now these lads could really sing!

I used to live not far away in Tufnell Green and I even knew someone who worked there - The Hope and Anchor, Islington - but I left London in 1974, so this was a year after I'd gone, but it gives you an idea of some typical nights we had there and among others there was Jo-ann Kelly singing the blues, and up the road there was the Ducks Deluxe 'Showband' (that meant they had echo added to their sound and you had to wear a jacket and tie, if you wanted to get in)

Vous rencontrez un haut moment franc

. You probably meant Newington Green or Tufnell Park. Or am I having one? I lived in Finsbury in those days and used to go to The Kings and The Hope & Anchor on a Saturday night about once a month before heading to the Neville Arms for the lock-in

franc 91 · 11-05-2012 7:35am

Sorry I should have said Tufnell Park

Ah the ol' Soap and W*anker! They stuck to old money for years after the decimal coinage came in, if it's the pub in Islington. Lived in Islington - Canonbury actually - around that time....

Spread · 11-05-2012 12:27pm

Yes I remember. The old L s and d till and the coinage. I think that they incurred the wrath of the judiciary ........... as did a trader in Chapel Mkt who kept selling his produce in lbs and ounces. That stretch has really changed. From Highbury Corner to The Angel is unrecognisable from those days. I wonder if the Kings Head theatre is still going? Some beautiful pubs in Canonbury.

franc 91 · 11-05-2012 1:14pm

I'm not sure about the Hope and Anchor, but definitely at The King's Head, they did make a point of carrying on counting out your change in old money. They used to sell oranjeboom beer - that nobody could pronounce properly and they had a beautiful horse-shaped bar, if I remember. I've seen a bad comment about the landlord at the Hope switching off the juke box because he didn't like what was being played. Yes both pubs are still going though I believe the Hope went downhill and got taken over - it was a free house when I knew it.The King's Head was and still is known for theatre - once we got in to see a première there without knowing it - so we saw it for free. I do remember they had musicians there as well, and you could have a meal before the show, if you wanted which was nice.

looksee · 11-05-2012 7:05pm

Mod: Er, lads, you wouldn't like to drift a bit closer to music would you, given the thread that is in it? (I'm sure London pubs of yore would make an interesting thread though)

franc 91 · 11-05-2012 7:26pm

Sorry about that

franc 91 · 11-05-2012 7:46pm

Here's one about an oulfella - en voici une qui parle d'un vieux - An Seanduine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSjyv0wvna0 - I wouldn't want anyone to think that I was pointing the finger at them, but I like the song (and the singer).

Spread · 12-05-2012 2:48am

I thought that at our age ....... well, going off on tangents and non sequiturs would be as acceptable as taking the morning array of pills. Wait 'til we start getting paranoid!

But having said that ......... will take what you said on board. Anyone for surfing?

firedancer · 13-05-2012 2:45pm

jeez I didn't think being older meant being boring , don't take any 'pills in the morniing' either - it's incredibly annoying to read older people going on about 'the good ol'days' etc. for god's sake put up some good music and stop moaning....and as for the title of this thread 'that fancy youtube thing' a monkey knows how to use it, it's been around nearly ten years.

Depressing.:([YOUTUBE

MOD: Sorry you are bored and annoyed. Please feel free to leave - and don't come back. (Evidently you need to be smarter than a monkey to post you tube videos on Boards)

BANNED

Rubecula · 13-05-2012 5:18pm

Not exactly a music video.

But it is something for the Mods to get their teeth into. (If they like fruit anyway)
