I see Julia Foster quite often at antique fairs - she's now a dealer, having given up showbiz. Her best friend is Polly James, and Julia absolutely loves Church and Ossy - she comes up quite often to see Polly's mum.

Julia Foster, Havent heard of her since she was married to Lionel Morton, Did he come from Clayton, Sparth Rd area. Bought a couple of shirts from his Boutique in Blackburn, My dad went mad when he found out how much I payed for them said he could have bought a suit, Shirt & tie at Burtons for that. I remember her coming on stage at the King Georges Hall, Blackburn, at a New Years Eve Ball, when the Four Pennies, were headlining, they were, Lional Morton, Fritz Fryer, Alan Buck, Mick Walsh, Did they get there name from Penny St in Blackburn, Marie Reidy, I think got them the record contract, with Mercury Records, other, groups to remember, The Strangers, the Questions, The Mustangs, the Electones, The Boneshakers, The Beethovens, the dappers, the Atlantics, the Victors, no Im not makeing them up as I go,

Hi, for you Alan - The Atlantics, The Strangers and one of the groups Tommy Franks was in. Not sure if this is The Dappers, or an earlier named band.

[garinda]

God, you can see it's the wonderful Tommy Franks.

Glad he's ditched the satin baby doll nightie look though!
