Tonight I went to see "The Searchers" at my local theatre. What a great performance from a bunch of guys who are now well into their 70s, and who've been going for over half a century. Remember
Needles and Pins?
Here they are as young men in 1964
and as old men in 2009
John McNally (the white-haired guitarist in the link above) had a stroke last year, and the band had to cancel their tour for a few months, but he's fully recovered and was certainly on top form tonight!!!
They covered
Running Scared, and I felt like a teenager all over again, ...when I went to see Roy Orbison and the Walker Brothers in Birmingham... (1966, I think it was.)
Who's got some more good news to relate?
