These photos were taken at our terrace house in Newtown, May 1975. It was Nikala's 'Naming Party'. I wish I had taken more photos! Alan Johnson was M.C. We also celebrated Rebecca's birthday (Eileen White and Alan Reagan's daughter).

Hi,
ReplyDeleteYou must have a lot of old photos.
I like going to the library to look through old photograpy books of Sydney.
I sent you an email like you asked but have not got a reply from you as yet.
Can't go to your bigblog.
Bye
You were certainly into the music scene in the 60's. Unfortunately i don't recall any of them. I was working in Papua new gunea in the 60's. I met Frank Ifield at a party in the late 50's. That's my only claim to fame. he he he
ReplyDeleteDouga, Yes my bigblog is 'down', Bigpond is not responding to my calls and emails. I give up. I will now put my blogs on my Down to Earth on blogspot.
ReplyDeleteDiane, music has kept me sane,or maybe insane :)
Frank's ok he did a Hank Williams cover didn't he?
I hope I can contact you - I'd love to have you get in contact with Wally's daughter - she's about to hear his singing voice for the very first time, thanks to Peter Anson's tracks!

Hello D,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you, although I cannot get through to your site ??
There a quite a few people who would just love to talk to Wally's daughter AND her Mum!!
Keep in touch.
Izzy Foreal believes the drummer in the Messin with the Kid foto is actually Daryl McKenzie. Izzy(as Peter Knox) played with Daryl and Red in Quill,having replaced Terry on Bass when he joined Flying Circus. Do you remember Peter Knox? Izzy has just started a Facebook Group called " Does anyone remember the Ball Pants?" He was resident bass player there for some time. Izzy hopes it is OK to use the foto of Brougham Lane from your site for the group.
ReplyDeleteIzzy is playing Bass on the red Mckelvie video and its on Forealnfriends Utube if you don't have it. Feel free to grab it. Its a great site you've made. I was Taylor Square as well and was Frenchies, Flinders Street and Courthouse mainly but my memories are vague - can't think why.
Sorry. Net dropped out halfway through comment. I have also linked your site to our blogs because it seems to me the internet needs a lot more memories of Sydney in those years. I guess WE are now the HISTORY. Thanks for all your work. Looking forward to the next thing to come. Yrs L.
ReplyDeleteHi Peter .. am updating as we speak - give it a week and all will be new and interesting. Heard from Terry yesterday and he has been in touch with Dave Ovendon ..
ReplyDeletePS Terry D can be heard on skidrow streamline Sun. mornings at 8
