skippy Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 In 1965 an ex member of the fortunes sang & played piano at our wedding reception, he had a mate singing with him, I don't know his name as the landlord of the pub organised it, & all it cost me was the drinks for the 2 of them all night. They sang a song that this bloke had written called something like little golden band, a good song for the reception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippy Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 skippy....it could have been my dad...he used to do clubs upto the late 80's from the 60's pavlo, we were having trouble finding somewhere to have our wedding reception, a mate of mine owned the Crown Inn on Carlisle Rd at Grimesthorpe & said we could have the room upstairs free, he then asked if we would like some music, he knew this bloke who played with the Fortunes & said he would be bringing a friend along to keep him company,all I had to do was pay for their drinks. It's so long ago now that I can't remember his name or what he looked like, but he was good, a very quiet natured fellow & very shy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big hit for The Fortunes which can hear on Youtube. Not allowed to post link though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
