  2. At 86 he was a great survivor of the Hayes/Scott era of British jazz and he kept on playing almost to the end. Fortunately we have the "kid" of the outfit, Peter King, still with us at the mere age of 73.

  11. Isn't that language pretty close to old medieval English? If so, interesting how that must have happened - the influence of the old Danelaw perhaps. Wasn't it because of the invasion of Angles, Saxons, Jutes (and Frisians), i.e. the English from around 500 A.D?

  23. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mindbenders Thanks, Hans! I see that this says that Freddie and the Dreamers and Georgie Fame were also from Manchester. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bands_from_Manchester Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis grew up in Burnage, within walking distance of where I live. They boasted that they spent their youth breaking into cars and trespassing on the railway. They also patronised local record store, Sifters, which is still there.
