Yes are you in your sixties (or older like some visitors here)?
If so post your memories of listening to Athlone, Stars Of Jazz, AFM, Luxembourg etc. Or send direct to Bryan Burnette.
I will be suggesting Van In The Days Before Rock n Roll. But I will be suprised if it gets a play. This is not the same as Julies regular posts along the lines of "I ask for this a hundred times you never play my stuff etc etc". I really doubt it will get played (too long).
"AFN"

I have our old Philips radio in the loft. We used to listen to Michael Miles in Take Your Pick on Luxembourg. Reception was poor - similar to DAB.
DeleteI was just watching TV whilst reading Norrie's blurb... and & thought "Brunette".
DeleteWhat does Norrie want with hair dye?
Radio?
DeleteYou were lucky....
We just had a wireless
You were lucky we just had two old tin cans and ten feet of string.
DeleteI was only born in the sixties. Can I sue BB for age discrimination?
ReplyDeleteI'm in for any compensation also.. let me know if you win your case.
DeleteCase?
DeleteYou were lucky
We just had a paper bag
You were lucky all I had was an empty Scottish Bluebell box.
DeleteWell, if f***book is anything to go by we could be in for a Human League night.
ReplyDeleteNot a dozen posts 3 hours short of kick off.
They seem to be looking for a 50s/60s night. The original teenagers will be 70 now and having their chins (and other things) wiped by nice young nurses.
DeleteNot in my Mum's care home.
DeleteHome?
DeleteYou were lucky
We had a cardboard box between eighty five of us
You were so lucky all 86 of us had to sleep under the Privet Hedge.
DeleteNever mind its 1973 and 1984 on Pick of the Pops. A fine brace of years!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the stand out tune in each year Adam?
DeleteStand out tune?
DeleteYou were lucky
We had tae listen to the wireless in our cardboard box at 6pm each evening
You were lucky we'd listen to the eldest sing whatever took their fancy to second eldest into one end of the tin can phone whilst under the hedge just as the third eldest hide all our belongings in the matchbox in case the provi man came by looking for his money.
Deletewhat a bunch o' rich people....we were the first in the street to have a TV so we all crowded round to watch 'the office' slurping horlicks.
Deletecheers frae the dale
Something in there for all the Bloggers I think (even one for BB)

DeleteAh, Tweedle Dee.. Jimmy and me could/were separated at birth back in the day he'd copy me all the time even when wearing handmedowns.
DeleteRufus & Chaka Khan, nice.
In 1973 Allan Freeman was playing good music on a Saturday afternoon. Cliff, Jimmy, Donny, David, Gilbert - nope, none of them featured.
DeleteNot half!
DeleteWell Gaie, we were all too busy oot playin fitbaw and rugby on Saturday afternoons. Nae danger o us, having to stay at home and decide between the horse racing on World o Sport or listening tae the wireless.
DeleteIn 1973 I moved into sheltered accommodation.
DeleteWasn't home, Adam, was a sad wee room where I spent 4 years toiling over maths books - yes even on a Saturday afternoon. Heaven knows why. Rick Derringer, Alvin Lee, ELP, they all brought some light into the hours of toil before discovering it was Saturday night and I wasn't going anywhere.
DeleteHelp ma boab, I'm nearly greetin'.
Oh get a grip, girl, wasn't all like that, you were never indoors in the holidays. Up with the lark, out onto the moors on a horse, sun always shining, long evenings in the pub (working, but it didn't feel like it)....
My son just tweeted the challenge to ask what course would you put down if faced with a UCAS form to fill in now. An interesting question.
Ah, the days when horses were for trotting not potting.
