I am 65 now, but when I was at College when I was 17, a Pal and I skived off and went to the nearest café with a juke box. The new song out was a girl group ( cannot remember name ) singing about Terry crashing his motor bike. I remember as if it were yesterday, we cried buckets. lol

You have delved back through time there fishtail. What memories of their funny songs, dress sense, antics on stage do you have of any of them They were all great artists. I remember Freddie and the Dreamers with Freddie's dancing antics. What good days they were.
Wish I had seen Herman King. Yes it looks like a lot of us are stuck in that era, by the look of all these replies. Also about emigrating, I was a Lancashire Lass until I was 15 years old, then my Parents came up here to live, and Righteous Bros. were the best at that song ever.
The Teddy Bears, To know him is to love him. So many memories of my first love. The Poni Tails Born to Late. My sister had this gorgeous boyfriend who I adored. She ditched him but as she is 9 years older than me I was too young for him.
