[cassidy]

For lovers of 50's and early 60's music and stories. Bill Kenwright is back on Radio2 on Monday nights 11pm-12am. Tomrrow is programme 2. I missed the first programme but am listening to it now on I player as I type this post. So far Fats Domino, Tommy Steele, The Cordettes and plenty more to come. Rock on !!!

His last series was very, very good

[Merton Park]

The music's good, but it's all about me memememememememe, too far up himself. It's a shame really.

Hi,
It was not quite as rock and rollish as I thought it would be. But I will listen again. But I was surprised to hear Joan Reagan in the show.

Worth listening just to hear Anthony Newley sing "Idol on Parade" around 15 minutes from the end. But your right, more ballads than usual last night.

Hi,
Yes. Idol On Parade was a good film as well.

He'll end his stint by claiming it's all Liverpool FC's fault.

...and he would be right

Bill was talking about the soul singer Arthur Alexander last time, so I sent him my poem about AA. Not the motoring organisation or the one for problem drinkers though I do mention bootleg whiskey! For those who are unfamiliar with Arthur, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Johnny Kidd, Gerry and The Pacemakers, The Merseybeats are amongst those who recorded songs written by him. Maybe Bill will play ' A shot of rhythm and blues' for me one week?

Hi,
Since playing the surprising, but in my opinion, out of place extract from 'West Side Story' a few weeks ago, I must admit the series has got better.

The moment he played Jerry Lee singing High School Confidential a couple of weeks ago the series exploded !! Rock on Alan. (I worked in Eden Grove)

This week was the theme from Exodus. A few weeks ago it was Joan Regan!

Very Rock and Roll

Hi,
Yes. I must admit, it is this sort of record which could deter the mainstream listeners.

What a small world! My maternal grandmother lived in Eden Grove for some time.
But to get it back to a film thread, are you aware that Charlie Chaplin visited the Nunnery/Nun's school there?

As far as radio is concerned however, I shall continue to listen. But I hope we have more classic rock 'n' roll. But apart to what has been said, I think it has improved since my first listen.

I think he has a different producer this time and that may have made the difference. Still "Teenager in Love" always evokes memories, either by Dion or Marty Wilde (whose version I prefer)

Thankyou Cassidy for making me aware of the series.

Bill Kenwright has been asked to reprise his Coronation street role of Gordon Clegg to attend Betty Williams Funeral due to be aired in April, he last appeared in Corrie in 1995 at his screen Mother's wedding.

[cassidy]

My pleasure for a fellow lover of that kind of music. Even though the series wasn't as good in my opinion as his last one there was still some good music played bringing back great memories.
