Re: cinemas

I have a question about The Saturday Morning Club at the Odeon.... did I dream this, or was there a serial shown about a Native American head that was kept in a bag and could work magic? I seem to remember it being called Chico Rainbow, or something like that. Does anyone remember that, or have a made it all up?

No, that was Johnny Kidd & the Pirates. Billy Fury is best known for his ballads like Halfway To Paradise, but he cut some killer rock 'n' roll sides - Gonna Type A Letter, Don't Knock Upon My Door - records which came closer to matching the sound of US rockabilly than any other British artist.

Best rock 'n' roll singer to come out of Liverpool, bar none, in my opinion...although I expect there may be a few who might disagree!
