ROCKOLLECTIONS: ORLONS, MORE THAN A FABRIC PT.1

Here is a show I did a while back.

It is an odd one, but I think I think it’s an interesting one, unless you absolutely hate anything pre-Beatles.

And that would be a shame!

But there are certain of you I KNOW will like this- right Mick, Beanie, Dave, Lou, Jen, D3, Brenda, Dan, Dee, Denise, Georgia and Billy?

The show features the Orlons, a girl group (although that guy who sings bass is vital!) from around 1962-63, one of the many casualties of the British Invasion of 1964.

The idea for the show arose when I played one of their songs during the Telephone Anniversary shows.

Was it even possible to DO a show on the Orlons?

Well happily the answer is YES! I think I pulled it off (OUCH!).

With the usual blend of the familiar, the long forgotten and the never heard, I should have the synapses of your brain racing around with memories, and wonder at why SO MANY good songs have rarely or sometimes never been played.

This is just the first half.
