Bandycoot you have been out of town toooo long, he only played in the pub.Ken and Charlie a duo for many years rsident in the pub. Vera had I think five sons Sadly one lost not so long ago Charley is not an Elliot.
Billed himself as the landlady's son on a radio interview over here, he was appearing at Skeggy. He told some good dits about the Pacific too. I may have misheard him but don't think so. It was so long ago I need some reminders of exactly what was what and who was who, so always grateful for a heads up. Cheers Para
It gets more intriguing. Charlie comes across well in his interviews but never been to see him sing since the Pacific about 30 odd years ago. He might have just been talking about Vera as the landlady.
Tatey I bet it was in boogey street.I have had a few nights out with Bandycoot there, along with Sydney and Syprus.I have sailed with D El but it was a bit before 78

No, it was actually in the bogs at 392 bar when it was at # 392 Orchard Road & Phil said "where are you from mate" & I replied "not far from you by the sound of it" I think Phil was with McDermott then. Shame about Bugis Street closing, that was the start of the sterilisation of Singers!!
Ah, Singers. Wot a run ashore! Don't ask paranoidballoon about falling down a mongoose drain though. Bugis St isn't actually closed, a mate of mine was down there last year, but it is certainly sanitised, not like it used to be with the Brit squaddies and matelots down there giving it rooty-toot. Like they say, "never go back it aint the same."
Have you just come in from the pub?I only got message half eight,left my phone at home ...I was pushed down said monsoon scupper by a drunk nuff said! I know the "Brick "best seaman I ever sailed with.I shared a cabin with him many a trip clean tidy and polite great lad.Give him my regards when you get round to giving him a ring and lash him up to whatever he wants to drink. I will give you money on 1st April when I sell a compressor I have in my garage
