I saw Chris at Palmerston North New Zealand 5 years ago and was as good as ever, had a long talk with the legend, a lifelong ambition, Doug

Who is the chainboy at 1:09?

[COLYERFAN]

That was I - surveying West Heslerton for an extension - with the lovely Margaret holding my staff. (C.1970)

[RussellK9]

Yes to the sturdle comment, sad to say even all good things change eventually, even New Orleans. Would I be right in presuming Chris Barber is all that is left of this great line-up? ♫♪♫♪

[ChrisGWRoberts]

Monty Sunshine is still alive, but no longer active. I saw Ron Bowden recently at the Colyer event in London, marking the 20th anniversary of Ken's death.

[sturdle]

good times, all gone?

You were lucky! There were no girls where I worked in GPO telephones in 1957 in Nottingham.

Thanks

Yes - a similar view from the office window to that in Lincoln. All Girls & Gaiters.
