  2. wow i didnt know that .Newley was a child actor turned singer and writer. Idle on Parade was a film about the post war army and conscription in which he sang the theme song and others i think with leslie Bricuss. i have the original EP 7inch of course. Great days going to the record shop and listening to the latest 45 single in the booth then paying 6shillings eight pence 33p to you younger guys.LPs were out of reach on my paper delivery money.
  3. Anthony Newley compilation. Strawberries ripe strawberries,shan't be round tomorrow the donkeys eaten all my Strawberries!Classic Newley. Great voice long gone now.
  4. Django Reinhardt the gypsy guitarist with the hot club de Paris.Didnt srefan Grapelli play with them? Great musician despite the loss of two fingers on one hand.
  5. Just found this retro band on YouTube called kitty daisy and Lewis .Brother and sisters who swop around on the instruments. Great stuff have a listen.
  6. Jose Felaciano on jools Holland show trrefivpc blind guitarist and singer probably before your time!

  13. He could be the next alex Ferguson. He helped build Accies reputation for producing young footballers through their youth system.They rely on this for the first team. A good club but poorly supported because of the proximity of Celtic and Rangers.
  14. Lets hear it for Alex Neil Got promotion for Hamilton Academical to the scottish premier league.Now he does it again with Norwich to the English premier league.Could Manchester United come calling?
