The day I met a pop star

I met a lead singer from a sixties pop group last week. Everyone was at college meeting the new students on enrolment day. I didn't have a lot to do, apart from chat to other members of staff.
It's amazing who you meet and where. Dan Robinson, the lead singer, was fascinating to talk to.

The group who had a top twenty hit in the early sixties were then called 'Danny Cannon and the Ramrods' and they are still going, but now call themselves 'Herbies People'. If you are interested their web site is www.herbies-people.co.uk.

The Ramrods played at the Cavern, coming equal first in a national competition. They have appeared on the same bill as many big names of the sixties, such as Lonnie Donegan and Vince Hill. They also appeared at the Royal Albert Hall.
