Usual classic Singers identified by loochie i.e. Ken Dodd(Tears for Souvenirs and Once In Every Lifetime(per exemple) and German heavies like "Can" with a lil slice of Dutch like "Trace" and "Focus" but primarily Ken Dodd....

Good call!

Timeless Music that people will still be playing 'til..well.THe Twelfth Of Never,in fact.;-)

Picture the scene


A small (pop 6000) Irish town


Friday night, the parents would go to the weekly "voice of Youghal" competition. A very cheap keyboard and guitar player would play showband tunes and the locals would warble along. At volume

Sunday morning - the local radio station would broadcast - FOR FOUR HOURS - the whole event. Which my parents listened to. At volume

Whilst the odours of boiled bacon and cabbage permeated the house


This was what my parents recommended I listen to...

I am not sure in the case of music most parents are anything more than just older, I've had way more good recommendations from friends than my parents anyway...


I'm not sure mine ever recommended anything to me actually. Grew up hearing big band and jazz when I was a kid which was mainly my dad's choice. I still like a bit of that stuff but it looks a bit odd next to the rest of my collection which is mainly guitary - indie ish bands.

David Bowie, Beatles, Kinks, Ian Dury, Aretha Franklin, Talking Heads

My mum (now 67) is more up-to-date with current music than me! She went through a big Outkast phase recently and remains a faithful devotee of Prince.

I remember a classic moment at one of my birthday parties (I guess I was about 7 at the time) when I decided to play "Plaistow Patricia" by Ian Dury to my friends. For those of you who are not familiar with the song, the opening words are "**seholes, b**tards, f***ing c**ts and pricks"

My mum was mortified.

Dad: Bruce Springstein, Pavarotti or whatever chief inspector Morse was into at the time, Bob Marley, Genesis, Kim Carnes and some weird monk chanting cassette he picked up in Germany. Funny taste.


Mum: Whatever people half her age were into, to be expected really.

    • Or travelodge (what's an odge?)
    • Great work from Aria - he replaced a shower for me. He was prompt to reply to me and communicated well to make sure i was happy with what he planned to do. His work was good and he was able to do the job in a good time scale. 
    • Has anyone had a Murphy bed built for them, or bought and installed themselves? Any particular issues or tips or pointers please?
    • I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to kindly ask for your assistance regarding a car break-in that occurred today, around 2 PM, on Carson Road. A couple of bags (both khaki in color), a luggage, and a passport were stolen. The bags, in particular, hold significant sentimental value to me, and I would greatly appreciate any help in locating them. I am due to take a long-haul flight in two days, and any information regarding the whereabouts of these items would be incredibly helpful. If anyone has seen or come across these belongings, please feel free to reach out. Thank you in advance for your attention and support. Warm regards, Tanya
