clevesoulie Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 How about John Gary and Hang On to Me? He was a typical middle of the road singer who appeared frequently on variety shows here in the States like The Mike Douglas Show.There's a DJ over there who's spinning the Johnny Mathis version of Evil Ways, which really isn't that bad. I actually put it in my box for a gig, but never got around to playing it.Someone mentioned Mayf Nutter...he was a country singer here in the States who had a few minor country hits, but was far more recognizable as a regular on the TV series Hee Haw.Best,Mark Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Slim Jim Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 That might have been the heavies who had the venue earlier in the evening You could well be right but I recall reading it was played at a nighter ? Who knows ? Apparently Domino by Van Morrison was played briefly on the scene too , the backing track is almost identical to Al De Lory's Right On ....I could just imagine the grumpiest man in Ireland being well impressed at this 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

The Yank Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I was at a thrift store and saw this bizarre album- Enoch Light presents "Guitar Underground- 7 Great Guitars with the NOW sound".Enoch was a big band leader and then put out a series of "ping pong percussion" albums in the early 60's. I guess after making albumsfor parents he decided to go for the youth market. The album has remakes of what you would expect- "Georgy Girl", "Up Up And Away","Don't Sleep In The Subway", "It's Not Unusual" and "Strangers In The Night". And then in the midst of all that , there's a remake of Al Kent's "You've Got To Pay The Price" ? 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest son of stan Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Years ago someone told me The Motors (pop group of 'Airport' and that one that sounds like 'Grandstand' fame) had an LP track that was played at Wigan. That true? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
