Summer 1961...Everly Brothers...TEMPTATION

Foreverly Claret

Interesting post and some very useful responses .I see one poster in particular has particular expertise in this field and my advice would be to take him up on his offer...I don't know him but a lot can be done from both points of view...viz IHT AND Care Costs if you take action soon enough .I think...

Foreverly, I also saw them open the show at Bradford in 63. My memory isn't as great as it was and I went to a few rocknroll concerts in those days. Was this the one the with Everly Bros and Little Richard? Yes..that's the one...with Bo Diddley , little Richard and The Everly Brothers .Little Richa...

Saw them on October 19th 1963 at Bradford Gaumont ( first house )...they opened the Show...I've still got the tour programme...been a fan ever since...loved all their early stuff...remember they did a great rendition of Route 66 .They're all older than me and they're still going...bloody amazing.

To be fair this would have been a nightmare for ANY government and even though I can't take BJ seriously I do actually feel a little sorry for him because the subs bench is crap...Handjob , Whateley , Jenrick..there's nobody in the team to inspire confidence...just a bunch of sycophants which is pro...

Something very strange about this .The ship left Lagos on 5th October...when were these stowaways discovered ? presumably somebody fed them during the 3 week voyage and they didn't cause any trouble... then supposedly they " cut up rough "...were they armed ? 22 v 7 doesn't look particularly good od...

Know much money does Rashford need. He could donate £4m a year a still have plenty. Rather than let some political group run his Twitter he should put his money where his mouth is.

How do you know he hasn't done that very thing ? Wouldn't surprise me if he had .

My mate is a City fan and collects ALL their match programmes...home and away...he has asked me whether anything was produced for the recent Carabao Cup match...paper or digital.Anybody know ?

Foreverly Claret

Depends what kind of guitar playing you're talking about .For rhythm lead Don Everly has got to be in the frame closely followed by Neil Simon .Always liked Joe Brown but Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry are on my list because I'm an old fashioned rocker at heart .

Ake..the wrong guy for City..they need more grit in their defence..Tarks would have been ideal...no point scoring for fun ( as they do ) if you're inconsistent at the back..they lose too many games .I find this sad because I would much rather see them at the top than the red Scousers and manure.Mayb...

Hi Foreverly Claret Please have a look at my previous posts. I have added links to sites such as the NHS, Lancashire County Council and Age Concern.

I don't see the problem for the OP's aunt. She's in a good position. She's being treated, presumably as well as possible, on the NHS, and she has a home to go to when she's better.

I'm a season ticket holder, but I won't pay to watch a Burnley side that has Aaron Lennon in the staring line up.
