  1. Bill Bryant former Cas forward https://www.pontefractandcastlefordexpress.co.uk/news/people/tributes-to-castleford-and-great-britain-rugby-league-hero-bill-bryant-1-9857878
  2. That's very true. I remember my last uncle dying, in 1996. I said to my cousin, "we're next"
  3. Up to two years ago I travelled fairly frequently between Dewsbury and Larkhill. Always went M1, M69, A46, M40, A34, A303

  5. He was also a great modern jazz player, here he is the Shelly Mann
  6. The Real Britannia by Colin Brown. "Our ten proudest years, the glory and the spin." So far we've had Magna Carta, the Spanish Armada, the Glorious Revolution and Waterloo myths all debunked. Quite good if you're an iconoclast.
  7. Jools Holland and Dr John to a direct lift from Pete Johnson and Albert Ammons. Exciting stuff
  8. Louis's version of St James Infirmary is brilliant, but this is pretty good. Tom Jones has a great blues voice. Wasted at his peak in Vegas
  9. Louis was great. The whole of jazz, blues r&b music owes him a huge debt. His cornet riff in Dippermouth Blues is the basis for much of what followed.
  10. Always been a Chuck Berry fan, but this version's better than his
  11. Meanwhile BBC4 offered a double helping of the Two Ronnies. Nuff said. But followed it with the history of Fairytale in New York. With Kirsty. very interesting. Shane McGowan was his usual obnoxious self, but Kirsty was wonderful as usual.
  12. shame to do that to Blackbush. First time I had it was in Westport. Recommended as Guiness with Bushmills chaser, fatal!
  13. Sicking to Blackbush and Bushmills 10 year old single malt. Much prefer Bushmills to any scotch.
  14. We went to a birthday party for her in Soho Square about 10 years ago. It was very moving.
  15. Started here in beautiful uptown Dewsbury about 20 minutes ago. Looks like the real thing
  16. BTW who's the backing singer in the yellow. My last post should be a clue. I didn't know about this until last week.
  17. Billy Bragg wrote it, but even he says this is a better version
  18. My wife prefers the Animals's version, so do I, I also prefer the Sam Cooke version. The Animals version has this on the B side, on of my favourites of theirs.
  19. I saw her standing there! Only 55 years old!
  20. Looking round ASDA by the sound of it. BTW there's still a Gibbet Street in 'Fax.
  21. The Serpent's Promise (the Bible retold as science) by Professor Steve Jones. A fascinating read by a fascinating man.
  22. Emmylou Harris singing Chuck Berry's You Never Can Tell. I'm not a country music fan normally, but I must say her version is better than Berry's. Brilliant.
