Re: Radio Daze
Punk quickly spread as New Wave, gigs were for beer money, I travelled to most cities, blew my cash on drink and nose bleach and slept on the rail platform til' morning. The scene that was Pub Rock morphed into punk and old hands made good -

Re: Radio Daze
Suddenly the Southend Scene could be heard on daily broadcast - the Essex Delta had arrived!. Lee Brillaux in his never washed white suit, Wilko thrashing a battered Burns guitar and The Big Figure kept the chug going :
Dr.Feelgood - Down At The Doctors. Dr.Feelgood - Back In The Night. |

![]() Though I wasn't buying records yet in 1965, the year was pivotal into turning me into a lifetime rock music fan. I distinctly remember grooving to these tunes on 680 CHLO St. Thomas when I heard them on the kitchen radio:
I Feel Fine - Beatles She's a Woman - Beatles Laugh, Laugh - Beau Brummels Just a Little - Beau Brummels Trains and Boats and Planes - Billy J. Kramer & the Dakotas Over and Over - Dave Clark Five Don't Just Stand There - Patty Duke The Name Game - Shirley Ellis The Clapping Song - Shirley Ellis You've Got Your Troubles - Fortunes It's the Same Old Song - Four Tops This Diamond Ring - Gary Lewis & the Playboys Ferry Cross the Mersey - Gerry & the Pacemakers Silhouettes - Herman's Hermits I'm Henry the Eighth, I Am - Herman's Hermits Cara Mia - Jay & the Americans What's New Pussycat? - Tom Jones All Day and All of the Night - Kinks Eve of Destruction - Barry McGuire King of the Road - Roger Miller I Go to Pieces - Peter and Gordon Heart of Stone - Rolling Stones Play With Fire - Rolling Stones The Last Time - Rolling Stones (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction - Rolling Stones Down in the Boondocks - Billy Joe Royal Wooly Bully - Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs Love Potion No. 9 - Searchers Stop! In the Name of Love - Supremes Game of Love - Wayne Fontana & the Mindbenders You Were on My Mind - We Five Heart Full of Soul - Yardbirds Tell Her No - Zombies Certainly more enjoyable than the accordion lessons I was taking during school years from the fall of 1963 to the spring of 1966! ![]()

Re: Radio Daze
Living in a different country didn't pose any problems, though I was accosted by men or 'switch hitters' as I called them... a little too often.
Rock Radio was big in Holland and I got to see the Pink Pop Festival twice... Some tunes here from that time: Fern Kinney - Together We Are Beautiful. |
