Peter, I have only just looked at this and it's Bread and Butter, although I cannot remember the artist/artists.

I happened to be doing some archaeological work in his garden (strangely for a time we lived in the same village in Hampshire). He seemed a jolly soul and allowed use of his outside convenience. Against the wall were framed copies of covers of the radio times in which he featured. Upon the cistern ...

Re: LADIES banter/training/motivation thread ??

I recently put up a line from a Phil Collins’ song on Name That Tune and wrote that I had a ' claim to fame ' with the artist. Articflipper correctly identified the song as, In The Air Tonight and asked me if I was related to Phil Collins, to which i replied, “ Not That I know of.”, Peter ( Seidman ...

Norman Greenbaum (who I do not think is Jewish) was the one hit wonder who wrote Spirit In The Sky.

Re: Tell us about your Holiday plans

Thank you Peter for the beautiful photographs.

My favourite is of ( what I think must be ) the paddy/rice fields, all those different shades of green.

Very pleased that you had a great holiday too and also had much needed opportunities to put your feet up and enjoy a beer or two ... or three.👍 :)

Paul, like Plummy, I also looked up the song but unlike Plummy, I didn't recognise it at all, which doesn't mean it's not well known, just that there are huge gaps in my musical knowledge. For Peter, there's usually a collective sharp intake of breath when Mr Glitter gets mentioned over here in the ...

Thanks for the clue Jill. I think Peter has the right era, but that it’s actually the Walker Brothers. And the song is The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore.
