Musical nostalgia

The linky below, if it works, is for a tune I discovered a short while back and liked..

Just happened to think about it and decided to check on ye olde You Tube, and, lo and behold, it was there. Even had sub-title words to sing along to it if you wanted to....in Finnish no less though the singing words are in English luckily.

For background, Steve Gibbons I heard of waaaaaaaay back in the 70s while stationed at a RAF base in Berkshire. A mate had a live vinyl album, remember them?, called "Caught in the Act"-The Steve Gibbons Band

It was basically a 50s-ish rock 'n' roll band that played some pretty good music. Think they were from the Brum/Birmingham area.

Anyway, they were pretty good as I say and could IMO be considered good biker music. If the linky works, have a listen and see what ya think.

Think they did another bike related tune, "Triumph Bonneville" as well. But as I'm a little biased, yer getting this one here.

Cheers.........

    Good old Chris Spedding! Played with just about everyone - Roxy Music, The Wombles (he's the one playing the distinctive 'Flying V' guitar), and allegedly played on the Sex Pistols records. Apparently he learned to ride a bike AFTER making this record as he got sick of people asking what sort of bike he had and having to reply that he couldn't ride one!

  3. Seems to be a fair bit of bike related music out there Norman.....in some cases some of it needs to be left undiscovered I think

  4. Riding around on a "Rainbow" An all time classic by George Formby from the film "No Limit". Now that's what I call music!
