I've just finished reading a really good book "Guard A Silver Sixpence" by Felicity Davis. Felicity "Flic" writes about her own life, but also delves into her family history in the Barnsley area. I can highly recommend it.

I will see if our library hold that book and give it a try sounds good.

It must be popular all the libraries in Kirklees have some copies and they are all out , so I have put a hold on it and I should get the first one that is returned.

Sounds like a reet good read that does. I might have to see if I can pick it up when I go into town this weekend to get the lad some new shoes for next year. Cheers for that.

I was just wondering the same thing, my sister and I used to go see him at Batley Vatiety Club.
I have put a hold on the book at the library and I am 2nd in line.

How sad I thought he was still alive, but now he's arrived on the forum.

Maybe it should read Gene Pitney junior?
Maybe it''s his son?
Can`t I cry? A little bit.
There`s nobody to notice it.
Can`t I cry if I want to
No one cares?
Why can`t I pretend,
That you love me again?
All I`ve had has been taken from me.
Now I`m crying, and tears don`t become me.
Just one smile, the pain`s forgiven.
Just one kiss, the hurt`s all gone.
Just one smile, to make my life worth livin'.
A little dream to build my world upon.
