Tooeg Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Two things I rmember most about Cannes. late 60's I used to walk up Chapel Walk past the shop every morning to catch the 95 to Broomhill and in the Window was a Black Gibson Les Paul with Gold fittings (Guitar). I don't want to be pedantic but you didn't catch the 95 to Broomhill. 51 52 54 55 60 take your pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scargill Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Wasn't there a Bradleys Records on Chappel Walk, about half way down on the left from the Fargate end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Not sure about Chapel Walk (the location you give seems like Cann's) but there was a Bradleys in Fargate, near the end of Norfolk Row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 15 and earned £2-19/11d a week. The Guitar must have been around £400 - £500. I actually thought I could save up and buy it (How we Dream). i think it was a gibson black beauty lostrider i thought it was about 300 quid , polo mints and parkdrive ,got to be aline for a song some in that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemansam Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Remember going to see a pop group there, to launch their new album in the 70s, no one recognised them as they walked past, so they had to come out of the shop again, and re do it, was great, we all cheered. God, can I remember the name of them ?? Think it was Strawberry summat or other. Think it might have been Supertramp you saw there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there was one one Chapel walk as well, other side to Canns. Can't remember exactly where - may even have been facing Canns, but I think it was in the block between the back of M&S and the Crucible end.

tasha_78 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Fabulous memories of Philip Canns and the listening booths. At the beginning of the swinging sixties, I bought my first record from there. Subterranean Homesick Blues by Bob Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
