I love much Classical too, Vaughan Williams, Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Katchurian, Widor......never seem to have time to listen very often though! This is me with the singer/Actress Clodagh Rogers at a Dusty Springfield tribute day earlier this year.......I know, 'what a big lad you are'!!

Nice photo Mark. I see you're a Canvey man. And you DON'T list Dr. Feelgood?


Saw Wilko at Riga Bar Saturday and he blew us away. Fantastic night out. Cannot be missed, although the jury is out with the Dr Feelgood I saw at Braintree 2006. In which case, you may be forgiven Mark! Nice photo.

Nice one Klark.

I saw Dr.Feelgood live over here at a Sydney University bash many years ago.
That was in their heyday and they were excellent.

What type of band has Wilko got now?
Is he still addicted to "Milk and Alcohol"?

I said I was 'fond' of my own music (if I wasn't, I probably would get no pleasure from composing it, would I - lol )... I did not say that my music was particularly good.

Also... I don't own a trumpet!

The uneditted quote is...

Klark - I'm most impressed you met the lovely Clodagh!

I love 60s music.

Can I plug my 60s music website?
<b>I WAS A TEENAGE CHART FREAK </b> which comes complete with a section that shows which films provided songs that made the chart...

What a great website you have Mr Cosmo!

It's very informative........many things about 60's Artistes and their recordings I didn't know about!

Dusty Springfield appeared in a Movie once (when she was with the Springfields) called 'All over town', but I think, unfortunately, it's unobtainable.......here I am again tending Dusty's stone in Henley-on-Thames a couple of months ago........

[Mr Cosmo]

My brother met Dusty Springfield way back in 63 / 64 time. She was very nice he said but he then made the mistake of singing to her (and he chose STAY AWHILE which seemed an odd choice) and she told him he had an interesting voice - I mean - he makes Bob Dylan sound like Pavarotti.

I met Lesley Duncan and Kiki Dee round about the same time. I was very young but just remembered thinking how classy they were because they wore nylons and smelled of perfume and were going into a taxi.

I was unaware though that Dusty had appeared in a film!

[Mark O]

That's great Mr Cosmo!.........Dusty was always a very polite person, so I think she would have said his voice was 'interesting', but thinking something else!.......It's great you met Lesley and Kiki too, us fans were hoping they would have attended 'Dusty day' at Ealing this year but they couldn't make it, but we had Madeline Bell, Simon Bell, Julie felix, and Clodagh Rogers.......maybe Kiki and Lesley will make it next year!

Oh dear, that photo above makes me look like a Sumo Wrestler who's limbering up.......I'm not quite that gross!..........this one's better, with a Dusty T-shirt on!




Madeline 'Blue Mink' Bell, and my Sister Barbara.........
