I was very fortunate to go to New Zealand in 1994 with the Forts, and later play on their 'Some Bridges ' CD. Great band, great guys, miss you Rodders (you plonker !)

[stratojamesnz]

Great stuff!!!

[farr64]

excelent loved it what a great group......

[blowfroth]

this must be from someone very close to roders , or a true fortunes fan , you must have some fantastic memories love colin and lesley ,fortunes /roders fans were is the rose

[doowopfan]

I'm a NYC boy who bought the record and loved "You've Got Your Troubles" back in '65 . Fast forward - I'm stayting in South London in the late 80's. I bust my ass traveling on the public transport to get up to a theatre in Uxbridge where the Fortunes are playing. They were exquisite. Wonderful musicianship and harmonies. I have always treasured that night and felt so privileged to have seen them live.

Those are some of the moments I hope I get to re-live in an afterlife. It was heavenly.

my grandad is barry pritchard im jewjewjew567s bro

[nevetsabcd]

Fantastic to see 'The Fortunes' performing in the 1960's

I knew and worked on music projects with Barry Pritchard during 1980's ...he was a great guy!

[kazlo2]

"skip round playgrounds of infinite youthfulness until the school bell rings" Barry Pritchard- The Fortunes

[jackpritchard57]

the idol is a great song,and my grandad wrote it with rod(r.i.p) you got your troubles is without a doubt the best.

[saveyourkisses4me]

Did you know that your grandad "Baz" laid down the lead vocals on "I'm Not Following You" the reverse of "Storm In A Tea Cup". I was told that Roger Cook gave him the opportunity as the others took their time coming back to the studios after a long dinner break.

[redredreds100]

i'm not a great fortunes fan, but i'm certainly a fan of your video, this was excellent, I was now off to find dave clark 5, but perhaps i'll search out the fortunes

I love The Fortunes. "You've Got Your Troubles" is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for posting this video.

Terrific harmonies, I saw them live in the sixties, brilliant band.

Well JewJew567, you should be proud.Great support guitarist/vocalist.His little onstage jig and shoulder shrug on the '65 video definitely adds a touch to the performance!

[SOFAJEDI]

[peeterpoon]

"That Same Old Feeling" should have been a worldwide smash...It is a travesty that it is known only by hardcore Fortunes fans...

[jamesconlon]

saw them in leeds years ago and recently in carlisle, excellent, still one of my faves!!

[habdon]

that lead singer has a fantastic voice.sounds like he still has it today.one of my alltime favorite groups.would love to see them today if they are still performing.

[meganwil]

they are still going strong and better than ever

[habdon]

thanks would love to see them.will be on look out for them

[throovest]

any idea of the line up? My school friend, Barry Pritchard died some 3 or 4 years ago. Probably just Rod left of the originals? Alan

[meganwil]

rod is joined by mick smitham, bob jackson and paul hooper. have a look at the fortunes website is pretty good.

[saveyourkisses4me]

Line up is of course "Baz" Rod Allen (Pritchard) and Glen Dale.

It was 40 years ago today a Mod clothing store told the Fortunes to play.They were in a cocacola add on the back of Car Craft Magazine in 1966 trying on Mod suits in a boutique.
