windswept   10 #1 Posted January 20, 2017 What songs do you remember from when you went to the fair? When and which fair?  ---------- Post added 20-01-2017 at 16:13 ----------  I remember the clapping song ( 639 The Goose Drank Wine ) - Shirley Ellis. Norton Oaks Fair near Gleadless Valley, around 1965. Trying to jump on the speedway like the fairlads did, almost killed myself.

TORONTONY Â Â 10 #2 Posted January 20, 2017 What songs do you remember from when you went to the fair? Wh en and which fair? Rock And Roll Waltz by Kay Starr and See You Later Alligator by Bill Haley, mid fifties at Rotherham Statiss which came in the Autumn every year and was probably the biggest fair outside of the Nottingham goose fair. Used to hear those songs at smaller fairs in the area too, like in Catcliffe, where I lived then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
