hi panther
shifters was the odeon
saturday morning club
kids only
 
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! ;)
 
The King's Hall was not a very salubrious place.......but we went because it was cheap and I liked Flash Gordon....and I think they used to show Our Gang, which I loved. It was only twopence to get in, but it was always rowdy and you used to get the kids upstairs throwing orange peel at you.
I am going back a long time.
The Ritz used to change the programme up to 3 times in a week. I used to walk past it on my way to school and I would spend time looking at the stills that they put in a case outside, to tempt you to see the picture.
