         1979 and 1980 huge updates

Tony Rees of the website TV Pop Diaries Pop Music on British Television 1955 - 1999 kindly sent us huge updates for the 1979 and 1980 entries:

You mention the ATV re-boot on your site and as you might be aware an incomplete set have appeared on YouTube.

Last week I went through them for the purpose of making a list of the songs performed and put it up on my site. I wasn’t able to identify all the songs, or all the performers. I’ve also used TV Times, Daily Mirror and the Pye Oh Boy LP as a source for song titles.

A big thanks to Tony.

HIT AND MISS: THE STORY OF THE JOHN BARRY SEVEN

HitAndMiss 1000

Thoroughly and painstakingly researched over a number of years, it features contributions from several ex-members of the band and from friends and relatives of John Barry.

Comprising of over 360 pages, it is packed with an array of rare photos of the band, and the singers they often supported, as well as some unique images of memorabilia and documentation from that era; some never previously published, many more seldom seen.

Even if you are not necessarily a devotee of The John Barry Seven per se, the book offers a fascinating historical insight into the British music scene of the period and, more importantly, provides an essential read for anybody remotely interested in discovering more about John Barry’s formative career.

The book’s cover price is £30, but anybody ordering direct from us will receive a 33% discount, reducing the cost to £19.99.
