Hi Caz,

Yes, Sam Brown is a terrific performer. She used to perform with Joe and her mother, Joe's late wife Vicki. I saw them perform together at a Christmas Cabaret show in Seven Kings, Ilford many, many years ago and they brought the house down.

Oh boy Jimarilyn, that Bobby Darin track was sooo good. Too young to buy it in '62, I spent years looking for a copy in our local second hand record shop (the Vinyl Scrapyard) and managed to get a copy in about '82! Haven't listened to it for years though.

Hi Limehouse, All,

We had a similar record shop in Croydon, brilliantly named the Vinyl Resting Place. Sadly the shop itself ceased trading recently but business continues online.

I saw Joe Brown many moons ago in Pump Boys & Dinettes, starring with Clodagh Rodgers (aaargh! memories of another terrible Eurovision Song Contest flooding back - bringing us back to Jack with Jack-in-the-Box ).

Joe’s daughter, Sam Brown, has appeared occasionally on tv (I think Jools Holland sometimes has her on his New Year's Eve Hootenanny show), but not nearly enough in my view. No other version of ‘Stop’ does it for me quite like hers.

Love,

Caz

Hi Steve,

I had a summer job for a few weeks in West Green Road when I was a student.

The Tottenham outrage ended less than half a mile from where I grew up. The anachists ended up in a cottage next to a pub at the top of Hale End Road.

I knew the Wake Arms well. Were you a motorbike rider by any chance? The Wake Arms always had loads of bikers outside.

I remember some very happy Sunday afternoons at High Beech too.

Steve S - if you lived in Tottenham, we were practically neighbours! I was born in Walthamstow and grew up in Highams Park and Chingford. Used to venture to Tottenham now and then to the Royal and once (but only once!), daringly, to The Eagle (round the corner from the old Police Station).

It's all a load of carbolics.

Is that something that brave Jaguars have ?

Check the haircut.

Sorry! Am off to get the soap.

It's all a load of carbolics.

Wash your mouth out with soap. You dare to sully the boards with that word?!

No, it's the George who wrote "My Sweet Lowde."

I really don't need a benefit gig.

I seem to remember that Joe Brown had a Ziggy Stardust haircut about 10 years before Bowie!

He's still got a good head of hair (doesn't look much different from early 1960's) even though he's about 67 or 68 now. He seems a dead nice bloke, ever cheerful.

He does a great version of George's "That's the way it goes" in that musical tribute "Concert for George".

Joe Brown is an absolutely top class performer and musician. I have seen him perform three times in recent years and the range of musical genres and instruments he covers goes way beyond his 60s material. 'I'll see you in my dreams' is one of his standards.
