Why my g grandfather came from Deal to Burnley is a mystery.
No mystery at all OC - he wanted to live at the "Home of Football". ;)
Haha ---not at the same time but always thankful for the opportunities the RAF gave me with music and sport. Backed Matt Monroe and Freddie Starr at Blazers in Windor, Shirley Bassey in Berlin for the 50th Anniversry of Sender Freis Berlin, backed Vera Lynn many times and also Roy Castle who lived in our local area and we backed regularly and what a talent he was.Quote:

Great life and now you know why I am always happy ---no matter what is thrown at me!

He was 4 when his dad died in Deal. Somehow his mother got him to train to be a teacher at Battersea College. Maybe with the mills going up they needed more teachers in Burnley and job opportunities were better.
He got a head job in Colne in the 1880s, hence why I’m from there.
Any luck 59. I’m watching the other half of the Jaarvi concert now!Quote:
