I saw them on stage a few years ago.  Superb.  Real professionals.  The musicians of those days certainly had something special.  I wonder how many of today's singers and bands will be packing out houses and playing Glastonbury in going on 70 years time?

We saw Mike Pender's Searchers at a Warner's hotel.  I think they did 45 minutes.

Yes, we go to a lot of shows like that too, Barry.  We saw the Hollies not so long ago - superb - and one of the best ever was Neil Sedaka in concert at the Royal Albert Hall.  Just brilliant.  
 

Have you seen 'Let it be' - the Beatles story told in their music?   I went to see that with the girls and we had a great night.  It was like one great big party - everyone up and dancing.

No, we haven't seen that one, we would enjoy it though.   I never got in to the tribute bands but we have seen The Zoots a lot.  They are not a tribute band as they cover a wide range of artists and have great energy.  If they are ever near where you happen to be, they are worth seeing.  They are mainly down south but I have seen them in the midlands.

I've not heard of them.  I'll look them up.
