Reading this morning that Pete Stringfellow has died reminded me that the band, of which I was a singer, 'The Tropical Boot Company' played at an all nighter in Sheffield in the 60's. The headline act was Georgie Fame and the Blueflames.
The club was called The King Mojo. I was probably about 17 years old. I remember it because when driving back at 6 in the morning I had my one and only car accident. I was following a lorry that pulled into the middle of the road for what I thought was to turn right. I started to undertake and needless to say he cut back and turned left. Happy days!
You and I really are twins separated at birth. I've only ever had one car accident too and it was when I was 17. I was the front seat passenger but was sort of responsible for the crash (don't ask). The car ended up over a wall, in a field with very startled cows, on it's roof. We all hopped out without a scratch.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm most impressed that you were a singer in a band!
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say that it was PS's club and that's what reminded me.
