RickMcD Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 I was in Bangor where I now live in 1962 at BB camp with the Mighty 4th.Paisley. Acker Bilk was appearing live at the Tonic cinema and from memory we got free or very cheap tickets to the show and it was absolutely brilliant. He twigged there was a crowd of young Scottish lads in the audience and he took the piss out of us mercilessly but nicely. It was great craic. Stranger On The Shore is a terrific piece of nostalgia for guys of my generation. RIP Acker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickMcD Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Jings - you must be ANCIENT????? Reported for ageism! I've never worried about what the hell age I am. Unlike a lot of posters who seem to hide their age like a bunch of shrinking violets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickMcD Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 He's not that young. You're reported as well. You're just being nasty because you know I'd have voted No if only they'd let me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
