Following on from my 1950s fashions post, here are some brilliant video clips from the 1960s. The first clip is great for a walk down Memory Lane as it features the mini-kilt, my favourite in 1966. I bought my mini-kilt from C&A (Coats and ‘Ats as it was known in my family). My dad went…… Continue reading Swinging Sixties fashion shows

What happened to …?
For some incomprehensible reason Michael and I started talking about Jasper Carrott the other day. Do you remember him? He’s a singer, comedian and TV presenter who seemed to be around alot in 80s and 90s. We weren’t fans but realised that we hadn’t seen him on TV in ages and we wondered what had…… Continue reading What happened to …?
Crazy furniture from the 1960s
I can’t say we had any furniture like this in our house in the Swinging Sixties. https://youtu.be/w9AzRzV0Bpw But the chair which almost falls over looks fun. Thanks for visiting my blog today.
What was Number One this week in 1964?
Top of the Pops started in 1964 and this week Roy Orbison’s “It’s Over” was Number One. https://youtu.be/1iABFZGzEjY “It’s Over” knocked Cilla Black and “You’re My World” from the top spot which she’d held for four weeks. Roy only stayed at Number One for a couple of weeks. I didn’t like the song at all…… Continue reading What was Number One this week in 1964?

My third Swinging Sixties pop record
Following on from The first pop record I ever owned was …… and Swinging Sixties memory failure! The next 45rpm pop record I bought was Tossing and Turning performed by The Ivy League. Released in 1965, the record made number 3 and stayed in the charts for thirteen weeks. I don’t know why I liked the song so…… Continue reading My third Swinging Sixties pop record
Swinging Sixties memory failure!
Reading again The first pop record I ever owned was …… I find that my memory has been playing tricks. My first pop record wasn’t “Walking Back To Happiness” but Helen Shapiro’s “Tell Me What He Said”. Which means that “Tell Me What He Said” wasn’t the B side of “WBTH” at all. This memory failure has…… Continue reading Swinging Sixties memory failure!
