Dave Nattress… Check out Colin Blunstone’s “I don’t believe in Miracles” and “Say you don’t mind”.  Wonderful, beautiful soaring vocals.  Seen him a couple of times on 60’s revival shows and some old stuff on TV and Youtube with the Zombies and at one time he went out with a string quartet.

Janet Rennie… Colin Blunstone fabulous voice , my two favourite songs from the seventies

Jen Franklin… Never fails to please. How does Colin maintain  hitting those high notes? Worth waiting for the late start. All ended too soon.

Lee Scratch Perry – De La Warr Pavilion Bexhill – 23rd November 2018

by

Regarded with awe throughout the music world, Lee “Scratch” Perry holds status as one of the most enduring and original reggae producers and artists of all time.

Always one to follow the beat of his own drummers, the eccentric genius Perry continues to break new ground with the hardest rebel Rasta tunes and the most unpredictable instrumental dubs. Lee Perry has most recently been touring Europe, riveting both old and new fans with a full measure of his blessings.

Who still has the album Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield?

by

Martin Richter… didn’t the producer live in George street ?

Phil Thornton… That would be Tom Newman – he also lived in Croft rd for a while.

Pete Fairless… Somewhere…. won’t be looking for it in a hurry, though!

Peter Thomson… I think so, as we didn’t throw any vinyl out unless we had a double up on marriage (ooh er). This would be in very good condition as it hardly ever made it to the turntable.

Angela Frances Gardner… I’ve still got my copy on vinyl or as we used to call them my LP!

Mike Curtis… I bought a copy of Camembert Electronique, by Gong, from Cass Music in Eastbourne. Took it home, put it on the Garrard SP25 mk11 turntable, through the Trio amp into some Wharfdale Linton 2 speakers, and out came side 1 of Tubular Bells! Side 2 was Gong.

Chris Meachen… That’s probably worth money if you’ve still got it..

Mike Curtis…  I sure have. But I stupidly sold a demonstration copy of “Love Me Do” by The Beatles for £100 about 25 years ago. Only 250 made and they fetch £10k now…

Jo Avery… Yep, but this one is my favourite…

Nigel Goodman… Vinyl, picture disc and CD
