Congrats jono and thanks tyke51.
The origin of the name was fascinating!

Well done, Jono! Thanks for hosting, Tyke51.

Thanks to Chrise, Aristophanes and Paul for the votes, much appreciated!

Wasn’t expecting that! Cheers to all the stalwart weekenders, many thanks for the challenge Tyke and the interesting clips. Just one more win to go... 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Well done, jono, and thanks to you and paul for my votes.

Thanks for the challenge, tyke. I bought many Shadows records as a youngster but don't remember Bombay Duck. Looks as though Jet Harris had already moved on, unless my eyes or memory deceive me.

Nice one, jono. Thanks to paulh for hosting and to mattrom, fiery, jono, paul, and spike for the votes.

Well done, jono, and thanks to yourself, chrise, FJ, aristo and the two pauls for your votes.
Cheers to tyke for the challenge, and commiserations on the football. It looks like it was a nail-biter. 🥅

Well done Jon and hope you're not mourning too badly about our (sadly predictable) lack of a win. Still, in the two-horse race England managed to come second from top but Italy only managed to come second from bottom.
Cheers Tyke. Tricky word.
Thanks for the votes Chris, Fiery, Jon, Spike, and Paul H. All very much appreciated.

Paulh

I can`t remember the Shadows playing `Bombay Duck` either! Hank Marvin inspired a generation to take up guitar playing - I think he was very much underrated.
Did you listen to Radio Luxembourg? I think Chrise is around the same age as myself - we had a conversation remembering Horace Batchelor and Keynsham - there must have been thousands of youngsters listening to RL in their bedrooms as it was the only way to hear `pop` music before the `Pirate` radio stations arrived - happy days!

Congratulations Jono
Cheers Tyke for hosting and big thank you's to Mattrom, Jono and Aristo for the votes, much appreciated
