About 5 years ago at a party I bet someone that I could find out the name of the girl who sings "So meet me where the rainbow ends". It's proving impossible - even Steve Ellis doesn't seem to know - anybody got any clues? I never give up on anything yet I still have a bet to pay if I fail !!!
love it love it love it !!!!!! - Saw Love affair at my local theatre- what a night - great memories and the teens loved it !!! - feel privileged to have been born at the time of the greatest music ever !!!
I remember pressing my levis and getting ready to go out for the evening, there was nowhere in the world that I would have rather been and no one else that I would have rather have been with than Suzy Jarvis. Its just a shame her dad was such a nasty midget, and that he heard me say he belongs in the fucking circus...oh well great music and fun times.
What a scary video! What where the guns all about-espcialy when singing a song about Rainbow valley! I remember them doing this on TOTP and Steve getting it badly wrong-nevertheless a great singer-anyone know what he's up to now?
@n0iwont ...Absolutely... I wish we can go back in the 60's again and it is just not the music. It was the original fashion clothes we used to wear too. It was fun. Great memories. (sigh!)
THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES WHEN I HEAR THIS GREAT CLASSIC DOWN IN MY RAINBOW VALLEY, GLAD TO HAVE BEEN BORN IN THE 50s AND APPRECIATE REAL MUSIC FROM REAL SINGERS THE LOVE AFFAIR HAVING MADE CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE BRITISH MUSIC SCENE LOVED ALL OVER THE WORLD
Amazing!! was 14 when it came out seems like couple years ago,probably listened to it and day without/bringing on back, one road,thousands of times,musics bollocks these days,Steve you are a legend.
Glad I was born in the 50's. I used to dance like the girls in the video. Great memories. Met them personally and they were lovely and funny. Wish we could turn the clock back. Has anyone got a video of the love affair with rainbow valley on top of the pops? That would be great. Thanks x
I'm just so glad to have been a teenager then. we played this one many a time on the juke box in a certain pub in Neath south wales. the sixties will live forever. so many great comments from many people who lived in that wonderful era.
Fantastic song ... from a fantastic era .. imagine health and safety, and terroism laws allowing machine guns on stage nowdays ... great memories. thanks for the upload. xxx
Okay, new discoveries continuing for me. So, it's true, there seems to have been massive numbers of bands, they may have been one hit wonders or survived long enough to make an album.
@HilaryMG well no not really from county Durham originally now live in the south east where they all think anyone north of watford gap is a northerner derrrrrrrrr hope this answers your question still a good song tho brings back a lot of memories of the north east in my younger days
@geordiejohn1000 LOL.. oic, hmm I have a friend from county Durham who was always taken for a geordie he was from Stanley :) but you and I both know thats wrong...definition of a geordie? you have to have been born on the river Tyne, me? born in South Shields :) my Mum was from Langley Moore yes in county Durham,, i wish I was right now in Rainbow Valley, never tire of this great song.......
Great record, but like so many from '68 it features the singer plus an orchestra with a few token 'rock' instruments thrown in rather than the actual band to whose name the record is attributed. Not only that, but no-one from the band had anything to do with the writng of the song. Still, Steve Ellis did have a great voice and haircut. What's Rex Brayley up to these days, I wonder?

i cannot beleive i was only 20 at the time i live in those days every day girls girls girls the music was great the pubs were full not like today shit sounds from a reved up car how can u tell your gran kids i met your nan at mcdonalds get a life before its to late the older music will live on forever thanks utube great times
Dear harcaz - is was once, touted that it was was Sandie Shaw ...However it wasn't !!-- I did remember Brian matthew tellin, this, on the sound of ther 60's show (BBC) and recounting ---that ---IT WASN'T !!---Just who it was....I can't rmemeber !!!!
I want to know which session bass guitar player played those fantastic bass riffs on this and Everlasting love. Was it Herbie Flowers? anybody please.
Absolutely shit hot, wish I could just drop back in time to then, what great times, what great music, we were really lucky as a generation to be there when it all happened. I am gonna sound like my dad now, but isn't the general standard of music today absolutely crap. Till someone invents a time machine, I shall heave to make do with things like this and all my wonderful memories.
couldnt agree more with your views i too had the pleasure to be around at the same time, have you seen the "everylasting love" video on you tube posted from ampsnbits.
@blagger56 I agree with you great times and if there were a time machine this would be the era of my dreams, memories last forever and ever. Blackpearl186
