Whilst sipping my espresso and munching on my croissant yesterday I nearly spluttered the lot over my beloved Guardian when I came across a report about Bedders and it's hinterland. I've included a link below to the Guardian's website for those who want to find-out more.
I didn't know if I should've posted this link in Malcolm's very, very, very long-running chronicle Crash 2 The Sequel! but I decided to stand it alone here:

Naughty, Naughty Bedders!

Bert Weedon - R.i.p.

Yep, he's gone ... but he lasted 'till he was 91 and what a full life he had playing with all the greats. Not only did he influence all the modern guitar Gods but also ordinary players.
I went for guitar lessons for years (1960s) to a guitar teacher in Bedders called Georgie Peel (he lived in a Council house off Stead Lane) but Bert's book Play in a Day made it an impression on me. I wasn't a good player but I still bash out a few chords now ... the old fingers don't move too well these days.

Happy Birthday Peter Tatchell

Just a reminder that Peter Tatchell is 60 today ... of course, most decent folk will be aware of this and may wish to Google for more information. Truely a National Treasure!

Holocaust Memorial Day

Just a reminder that Holocaust Memorial Day is on the 27th January ... of course, most decent folk will be aware of this and may wish to Google for more information. One thing to do is a visit to the Anne Frank Exhibition (showing free at Gosforth Library 27 January 2012 – 02 February). I saw this some years ago in London and it's well worth a visit.
First They Came - Pastor Martin Niemoller
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

A couple of recent posting have referred back to the 'old' Bedlington Forum ... well, this is just a reminder that all the old stuff can be seen here:
