I still prefer good old Ginger, but Joanna absolutely hates the female
version and only digs The Okaysions. Ginger Thompsons version is just
such a fantastically Kitsch girly soul version - yeh!
Darn you, you evil child, why oh why did you not by 'The Honey House' by
the Showmen?...for me anyway? The song holds a special place in my
heart as one of the mosre or less first northern tunes i got into...so
where abouts in Manchester was it? (hee!)
Anyone else know of any tunes on tapes which have gone round the
> world and back?
Matt....
Too many to mention....
Tinx
Ps- Jonanthan, yes i'm brainwashing young Yorkshire 11-16 year olds into
the ways of modernism...and i also gave a talk to a group of 20-25 year
olds the other day at York Uni on sixties fashions...but we'll have to
wait a year or two in order to measure the success of my persuasive
techniques - My next talk "Yorkshire the hotbed of modernism"...or maybe
not!
