Oh dear lord!! That's like a dodgy mixture of Ken Dodd and Little and Large but more camp. It looks like they are playing at Butlins as well.Originally Posted by Emil Miller
Well it's not quite as funny as the military two-step but I was never one for prancing about like a fairy.
Talking of fairies, Freddie really was one. A fact that's probably best exemplified in this little item.

I agree, so it's back to basics
Lord Morry sighed, “Yeah I guess you’re right. Not like the good old days with Frankie Laine eh? Now there was a singer.”
“He’s still around but he gets drowned out by all the electronic noise that’s on the market nowadays,” said Wally.
“You know, I used to play his records all the time when I first started in the music game: him and Johnny Ray. I don’t know which one I sold the most of.
That was the difference in those days, the kids had class,” said Morry nostalgically.

There's a time and a place for that^, but not now.

I have to disagree. There should never have been a time and place for Frankie Laine or Johnnie Ray.
As for Psycho a go-go, Admin's very timely aphorism says it all.
Aphorism #30 Have naught to do with Occupations of Ill-repute, still less with fads that bring more notoriety than repute. There are many fanciful sects, and from all the prudent man has to flee. There are bizarre tastes that always take to their heart all that wise men repudiate; they live in love with singularity. This may make them well known indeed, but more as objects of ridicule than of repute. A cautious man does not even make profession of his wisdom, still less of those matters that make their followers ridiculous. These need not be specified, for common contempt has sufficiently singled them out.

Another Freddie and The Dreamers 'number' from earlier in their career playing at a prestigious labour club, location unknown. Just for Emil.
Oh and believe it or not Freddie was married three times!

I'm getting a message that the video is currently unavailable, but I don't think I've missed much.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59Lh-Z7bx8w

Sorry about calling him a fairy when it appears from what you say that he wasn't, I seem to recall seeing a reference to it somewhere but I'm not
overtly bothered with pop singers and it may have been someone else. Now I'll have to stop calling them Freddie and the Screamers.

Damn, but no you didn't miss much, it's working for me so I'm not sure why, never mind. Well I don't know much about him really just going of wiki. Trivia - he turns up as a DJ in one episode of Heartbeat as an actor not himself and plays one of his own tracks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-JdWlKYmUs 12 minutes in. That's enough of Freddy, he's now officially banned from Lit Net, you'll be pleased to hear.

Thank you for inroducing me to Freddy, my life is nearly complete.
Bo Diddley doing a few jumps and fancy footwork:

I had no idea what he looked like but he does get a mention in my first book.
'On taking office, he appointed his protégé to present a new prime time weekly programme on arts and entertainment. Rowley didn't know much about either subject, but immediately saw the latter would best serve his audience appeal. Apart from paintings by court artists and others he’d seen in history books, he had little knowledge of art, and even less of music which had often affronted him because he didn’t see that Beethoven was any more valid than Bo Diddley, except that one was for highbrows and the other for normal people.'

That was purely coincidence, but now I do recall the reference to BD in your book.

Haha, we can't have that.
I'm not convinced that was Noel, he sounds an awful lot like this fella...

No problem, just doing my bit to help broaden cultural horizons. Consider yourself educated!
GG wins the *'Best 7 seconds of a video clip* award for this link, well done Gilliat, congratulations, I nearly spilt my beer there.
OK, let's have some Kinks, and one I have been playing a bit recently, lyrics are included so you can sing along if you want, ahem:
