Wow! Duane Eddy only came to light with me in the mid '80's when the Peter Gunn theme was redone.
Loved his ringing, twanging, rock 'n' roll guitar playing.
Closest I came was seeing (by pure chance) Bert Weedon performing at a caravan park in Mablethorpe in 1983
Mere youngster you.Enjoy.He was a great guitar player who came to prominance in the late 50's with his unique twangy style. He used to come over with other American stars ie Roy Orbison, Ray Charles and Gene Pitney .We could go and see them at the Cov theatre.In the days when you got 3 of 4 acts cost you £5.Great times being in at the start of it all
Dont mock Bert To much. He influenced many Paul McCartney ,Brian May amoungst them.Closest I came was seeing (by pure chance) Bert Weedon performing at a caravan park in Mablethorpe in 1983
You sure it wasn't 2 shillings and sixpence?
Ha ha! I have heard of him chap. Was posing the question to Rob!
Even if you've not heard of him, the name Duane Eddy just screams 50's Rock n Roll.
I was first in pubs on a Friday night as s 17 year old in 1989. Even then prices were relatively cheap. 4 pints of piss was generally our limit and could get those and chips to walk home with for £5.
Crikey! How could I have forgotten - I saw Bo Diddley at Birmingham Town Hall around 1991.Wow! Duane Eddy only came to light with me in the mid '80's when the Peter Gunn theme was redone.
Loved his ringing, twanging, rock 'n' roll guitar playing.

Isn't he performing some sort of song and dance show at that Co-Op Live in Manchester. Sure I heard there was Diddley Squat on there.
My first pint (underage of course!), was in the Summerland Tavern on the Butts. Cost the equivalent of about 9p in new money! Tasted bloody horrible though!

Talking of Duane Eddy. Anybody hear his track at HT on Saturday? Rebel Rouser.
That scene with Shake Hands was fantastic
Cesar Menotti 85 Argentina and Barcelona manager, Always remember him chain smoking in the dug out during the 1978 World Cup.
85! A walking advertisement for cigarettes!
So sad to hear about Bernard Hill. One of my favourite actors.
RIP Yosser.
RIP Yosser.
Caught 'The Responder' last night (never saw the first series) And Bernard Hill pops up in that.So sad to hear about Bernard Hill. One of my favourite actors.
RIP Yosser.
Probably his last work.
Legendary record producer Steve Albini, 61, heart attack.
RIP
RIP
Absolutely love 'In Utero'. Listening to it sounds like you're in the room as they play. All down to Albini's recording.
He’ll of a discography. Worked with some legendary acts, nirvana, pixies to name just two. RIP
He also engineered Seamonsters by The Wedding Present.
Possibly their best album.
RIP.
Could have sworn as a youngster that he was South African, which confused me how he had played in the Ryder Cup. But you live and learn - Dutch father hence the name, but English through and through. Six Ryder Cups! Died the day before his 76th birthday.
