I may well have got this wrong (heaven knows the mind is not what it was) but I have a vague recollection of the song "Needles and Pins" being written by an Accringtonian. My old boss Neil (once of the James Boys fame) insisted it was so but that some American had nicked the copywright. Anyone else know about this?
 
Quite right, David, written by Sonny Bono and Jack Nitzsche, who was a producer and songwriter in LA. No Accy connections as far as I'm aware.


So you can take it as red There is no connection with Accrington . Sorry Eggs and chips
 
The 4 penny's were from Accy weren't they? Or one of them was at least - 1 penny! Don't tell me they wrote "If i was a rich man?" :confused:
Blackburn Mate, Fritz Fryer was from Gt Harwood, Lionel was a chorister at Blackburn cathedral at one time
