@tonupjohnny great vid mate are some of the pictures towards the end from the movie the leather boys :D not seen movie in a while but look familular :D
I went to the Ace in October 2011 as part of my 60th birthday celebrations, for the first time in 42 years, this is a fabulous video - I admit that as a grandmother of three I should know better but I am still determined to grow old as disgracefully as possible.....
alanbstard4 Yeah its the piece called `Morning` from Edvard Greig`s PeerGynt Suite a loveley tune whether in its original tempo or the way the Rapiers play it at a more modern tempo. It rates the same as the way the Cougars performed `Saturday Night At The Duckpond ` a pastiche of atune from Tcaikovsky`s Nuitcracker Suite ` and B Bumbles treatment of another Tcaikovsky tune Nut Rocker from the same Ballet score
Great pics. Was a kid in Devon in the 50s and we little'uns would get taken on the back of the big lads' bikes accross the moors to Torquay or Plymouth, or to Exeter to the speedway - no helmets, no sodding 'elf & safety, just speed and good mates - your post reminded me so much of those days - THANKS
Yep, that's how we were. Nortons, Rockets, Velocettes, Triumph (rocking horses), Gold Stars, even Square fours and Vinnys. Real bikes, no chopper crap or pseudo easy riders.
One of the best instros of the 80`s i bet even Greig wouldn`t have minded the treatment of one of his timeless tunes , and The Rapiers -- well they rock. The video reminds me of my youth and i could have been any one of those leather clad bikers i had a BSA 650 Road Rocket, Ahhh memories superamos31
