Thread Name: Barn Dance
Subject: "Barn Dance"
Here's something to bring from the recesses of the mind. How many out there can remember a time on the BBC when they (incredibly!) televised Barn Dancing! The Caller I remember was Bill Cain and it was the earliest sitings of Steve Benbow, Val Doonican (!!) and the (geordie) Barry Sinsters. Can't remember the band (Think they were North Eastern. In connection with a recent thread about BBC commitment, It's a bit of a stunner to think this used to be BBC output,I would suggest in the early sixties. Any 50 something Mudcatters remember this programme and long for the "good old days" ..when folk WAS on the telly.
