Worth a try is CHRIS STAPLETON's album "Traveller". The man won 3 awards at the recent CMA Awards. Here he is dueting on one of his songs with Justin Timberlake.

Worth checking out some of their other DVD's on YouTube, Blues/Rock with a dynamic Soul singer, also check out their web-site. These Vintage Trouble boys are superb live and have been supporting some mega-stars on various tours to get themselves noticed. I prefer the slower, soul sounding tracks, but they have gently built up a terrific act and sound.

Next Saturday, at home to Stoke City

I wasn't going to go to the "Club" to watch, I thought I'll just ignore it and wait till it's over. BUT, I couldn't stay away and i belatedly got to the club just before half time. Just in time to see Colocinni barge Fletcher over and reduce us to 10 men and a goal down. I bought a pint and then tortured myself throughout the 2nd half. Lucky Black Cats, again we made it easy for them. Once the 3rd. goal went in I just emptied my glass and buggered off home, which is where I should have stayed all along.
Will I (we) ever learn.
Apparently not.
When do we play Norwich again?

And another Tedeschi Trucks Band cover (this time with Warren Haynes joining in) at some big swanky house in America, with some big swanky politicians enjoying the show......

Here's another Tedeschi Trucks cover, Harry Nilsson didn't quite do it this way>>>>>

Screen shot
The red circle is where I think the photo was taken from, the other 2 red shapes are the 2 houses in the shot.

Eggy and Bayardm, in my opinion the photo was taken half-way down Bedlington Bank (roughly where the old Outcast Bridge used to be), looking down river.
The house on the top of the hill in full view ahead would have been Milbank House and then the building below it, which is on the road/pathway that leads down to the woods from the back of Beattie Road was a small holding that I remember had fields sloping down to the river-bank. If you look on Google Earth at the Satellite image then you can see a browner/darker bit of vegetation which used to have crops in the late 1950's / early 1960's.
I'll try and do a screen shot to highlight what I'm struggling to explain.

Absolutely Deja Vu, all over again.
But it's not all bad news for me.
I just thank my lucky stars that I had Sergio Aguero as captain in my Fantasy Football team.

Amble has tried really hard and their efforts are working. Much improved Cafe's & Restaurants & Ice Cream Parlours, excellent Pod's for small retailers. I've just voted for them.

Hi Reedy, yes my Dad's Dad was Christopher Septimus Kidd (known to one and all as Sepp) and as well as being Chairman of Bedlington Mechanics (when they played their home games at Milne Park), I believe he was something like "The Colliery Engineer" for the Dr. Pit. He and the family lived in No. 1 Dr. Pit Cottages, right on the Pit Head so that he could be called upon at short notice, should there be any engineering issues to be solved.

Dobie Gray sang that song.

Thanks Mags

As long as they keep making the Corned Beef Pasties, then I'm happy.

I recently posted this photo from 1929 from the Whitley Memorial School on Facebook / Bygone Bedlington. It has created some interest and whilst my Dad (Stan Kidd) is 3rd. from the right, front row, I've asked if anyone else can identify any of the others. That well known "whiz" of photos & screen shots "Eggy" suggested I also put the photo on here to see if HPW or Reedy (via his Dad) or anyone else can help spot and name any of the other children.

Sam Cooke would be happy with this, great singing from Susan and Sharon, superb guitar from Doyle Bramhall, all led by the incomparable Derek T

Eggy, I'm pretty sure the name of the Raa was Shiney Row, it's the only one where the Pit Head is directly up the Raa, with the coal houses & netties across the road from the houses.
Check out the photo on this Community Web-Site/Gallery, via this link : Historic Bedlington
The photo would have been shot from the Glebe Road end of the Raa.

Very good Malcolm, but my favourite by The Bonzos is "The Intro and The Outro" (i.e. Roy Rogers on Trigger)

Peace & Loaf is supposed to good, according to what I read. How would you rate it Maggs?
-
This instrument might inspire lot's more people to DIY and send Fender & Gibson out of business.......check out this different version of Rollin 'n Tumblin'

Malcolm,
I can see where you're coming from. I saw the Notting Hillbillys when they toured (I think it was at Aylesbury Town Hall !!). Jason Isbell was in The Drive by Truckers, who are worth catching up with, but I love his 2013 album solo "Southeastern", which is more singer/songwriter/americana type of stuff. So I was pleasantly surprised to see this video with the latest incarnation of Lynard Skynard.

I didn't know that this boy was such a good guitarist, check out Jason Isbell guesting with the latest incarnation of Lynard Skynard......

It doesn't take long….
Some years ago a small rural town in Spain twinned with a similar town in Greece.
The mayor of the Greek town visited the Spanish town. When he saw the palatial mansion belonging to the Spanish mayor, he wondered aloud how on earth he could afford such a house.
The Spaniard replied:'You see that bridge over there? The EU gave us a grant to construct a two-lane bridge, but by building a single lane bridge with traffic lights at either end, I could build this place.'
The following year the Spaniard visited the Greek town. He was simply amazed at the Greek mayor's house: gold taps, marble floors, diamond doorknobs, it was marvellous.
When he asked how he'd raised the money to build this incredible house, the Greek mayor said:'You see that bridge over there?'
The Spaniard replied: 'No.'
