Ronnie Lane and Eric Clapton at the Drum and Monkey
 |
| The Drum and Monkey today |
I have just listened to the BBC Radio Shropshire programme on Ronnie Lane and Eric Clapton that I blogged about on Monday. (It was broadcast today at lunchtime.)
Far from exploding the myth that you could once hear rock and roll aristocracy playing at remote Shropshire pubs it proved the stories were true.
It also includes a rare interview with Ronnie Lane's widow Kate. Well done, Johnty O'Donnell.
You can listen to the programme for the next month on the BBC website. It occupies the second hour of Paul Shuttleworth's show.
There are also some photographs from the most celebrated concert at the Drum and Monkey on the BBC Radio Shropshire Facebook page.
Noosha Fox: Georgina Bailey
A little bit of Continental sophistication from 1977 which reached no. 31 in the British charts.
Some sources claim it was banned by the BBC, but as this video comes from an episode of Top of the Pops that seems unlikely.
Noosha Fox was originally the singer with the band Fox. They had three top 20 hits, but she was less successful as a solo artist.
She is also the mother of the doctor and science journalist Ben Goldacre. Sadly, she was to busy with her music career to teach him to comb his hair.
