Thanks guys,

i needed the clues, as we were on an Oz theme i automatically thought of Adelaide, but after your help I think I found ” Lampi Bampi ”  trouble was not any good images available so I had to resort to capturing from the video, not the best but use-able for this purpose.

is this better ?

Oh, Ok ,

new here so got a lot to catch up on, too busy enjoying the music to research all of this fantastic forum, but will endeavour to find out the answer to this, when i do ill re-post the pic.

I suspect it has something to do with the Twins In Adelaide, so I’ll start there.

Just looked up on google maps

woooee – Australia is such a big place – you wouldn’t believe how much its been developed – it was so sparse when I lived there.

Hiya all,

cool, as a new member I wasn’t aware of this subject being covered, as i understand, it shouldn’t cause a drain on server resources or a major band with usage but there are security implications that may cause a conflict of interests so well see what comes out of the cooking pot.

As for the time differences, it generally shouldn’t be a problem as we all have schedules that we can work amongst us, In case anyone hasn’t noticed, i’m a bit of a night hawk and am often online up to 3/4 in the morning,

I find the live chat really useful when i’m working on websites for clients, I have one in Sydney, Orlando, and a couple in India/Bangladesh.

This wasn’t an imperative – must have question as i’m here for the pleasure of the music and like minded friends if i may call you all that i have discovered, so as long as the club continues i’m more than happy

 

Cheers to all

Thanks jacki,

had to search to find out who “LampiBampi” was ?!  lol thanks to Howard for the tip off

P:)

[Ckay Kirby]

?? who the h**l  is Lampi Bampi ???

[Ckay Kirby]

Cheers Jung,

wow thats cool, hadn’t seen this, not much of the oz clips but got the vibe, Australia is a land that imprints itself in you, once experienced never forgotten.

I have a few old photos but sadly no movie clips, there was one old cine 8 film in our attic at some point with me and my brother on the beach xmas day, plus a short clip of us on a kids tv show when my dad worked at the studio but alas the damp and mould got to them and became useless.

Ill have to hunt out the old pics and share

Cheers Howard,

found your piece, interesting – my mom and dad where part of the £10 poms who emigrated in the 60’s, Adelaide was chosen as it was the most similar to Birmingham UK, it was a learning city with a great arts culture and music centre, my dad was then world harmonica champion and was looking to change his outlook for somewhere he could use his music talent, he ended up as musical director of Channel 9 TV, the station that Earnie Sigley started at, hence the record with him.

Adelaide was very different then, new suburbs like Brahma Lodge were only just starting to be developed and we were really in the “Bush” as far as i was concerned then, there where only 2 other kids of my age within walking distance with the school only having a total of around 100 pupils.

It was a great upbringing and some were I will always consider as my Home, although I’ve been back in the UK since I was 8 i still consider myself an Aussie and love the land dearly.

Been back a few times since leaving but not recently since my dad passed away, hopefully will do a final visit before my time comes.

Hiya Girls,

just read your comments regarding your 12 string and realised you have spent some time in my home town, Adelaide.

Still searching through these numerous club pages and catching up on a lot of things, but I should have realised you were pretty close when you posted the pics of Ayers Rock.

What did you think of the city ? where about did you stay ? what were you favourite places / experiences ?

I originally lived in Brahma Lodge district, then moved to Salisbury, when I was growing up we could see the Anzac Highway from our back yard over in the distance – and that was all – nothing but open bush and kangaroos !!

there were only 4 bungalows and a pony farm in what was the original Brahma Lodge, I walked 2 + 1/2 miles to the nearest school every day, it had 2 wooden hut style classrooms, 3 teachers and and Aussie football pitch.

Some of my best memories and sadly missed

Ive been back since and now it’s full populated and dense housing all the way to the city, such a shame.

perhaps you could share any other photos you have and give more info in your question and answer video

Loving the club experience

uploading now – keep your eyes peeled

Super !!!

Top marks Jacki

brilliant words to accompany the pics – ill post them on Insta – you add the words

Deal

[Ckay Kirby]

They probably would let them – they have done before – quite a few of our local bands have shot videos in the old shop, and using their shiny new equipment, they even let them use the studio rigs for teaching sessions.

That’s what I meant by the best bit – “Same Staff” the guy there are great and so friendly and helpful

perhaps Ill post the pics on Instagram, that should get the girls attention.

Yea, it’s astonishing, I don’t think there another this big in the UK, the old shop always had lots of celebrity visitors who were in town playing gigs at the big arenas so we have had some pretty big names added to the wall of fame, not least our own home boys from Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath.

Hopefully when the twins get to hear of it they might come and take a peek, only 2hrs from Liverpool.

As for that Fender – wow ! it’s a beauty, custom made and with a price tag of £15,000 !!!!!! no wonder they locked it up in that case!

I don’t play guitar so I couldn’t have a go on any of them but they do have 12 sets of amps free to use and try out any guitar you wanted with a totally separate area for the acoustics, fully soundproofed – unbelivable !!!

And that’s not even mentioning the Keyboard, Drum and Studio areas !!

I only went in for a look and a few spare bits for my harmonica and spent over 2hrs there !

I had a session on a rig with some effect pedals and spent £150 that I never intended to – still walked away much happier than when I walked in though.

I hope the girls get to see this and come down – it would be so cool
