Northampton Message Board: Knowhere Guide

udge do?

In each show after an act performs our celebrity judges in the studio will give their comments as usual but then it’s over to you to have your say. From the comfort of your own sofa you’ll be linked LIVE to the studio via satellite. You’ll be able to interact with Graham and the studio judges and be seen by millions of viewers across the country. Will you agree with what the celebrity judges have to say or will you want to set them straight?

Your comments could sway the public voting and ultimately determine which acts go through to Final later on that night.

If you think you know talent when you see it, if you think you can handle the pressures of LIVE TV and if you want to be part of a TV first, then we want to hear from you NOW!

Looking for a swingers site ?	by Webamster (Member 10230878) on 23-Aug-2008
If you're going to join a site, make sure it's a good one like www.intheknow.org.uk To many sites are either just in it for the money or they are free and don't care who joins as long as they have loads of members. Intheknow is free but you can't just post a profile, all profile have to have a picture of you hold a blank sheet of A4. May sound a bit mad lol but it does stop time wasters and pictur e collectors and only genuine swingers join. ... more >> Reply

Start testing for scoliosis in schools petition	by Ab Fab (Member 10048437) on 2-Jun-2008
10 year old Emma has had surgery for Scoliosis and is now campaigning to raise awareness of the condition and for all children in the UK to have the very simple 'bend forward' test to get an early diagnosis of Scoliosis. She has an online petition at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/start-testing-for-scoliosis-in-schools. Emma is aiming for 1000 signatures and currently has just short of 300... I'd like to see this figure go through the roof!!! This is an issue close to my heart as my son was diagnosed with adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis at 16 and had surgery last november when he was aged 18 and a half. Many thanks!

St Cecilia Back again "Should be TOF"	by John Proctor (Member 10187589) on 16-Jan-2008
Well this article is concerned with my original employment which was as a full time musician. We where very lucky to have a hit record and as my dad used to say you "must have a gimmick" how right he was to succeed in music and bearing in mind he wasn't a musician I promptly ignored him. I used to practice in the Kitchen in Brookes grove Corby and like all friends I was trying to copy the music of the day i.e. Beatles, Chuck Berry etc. I have been in a few groups which where marginally successful locally in Northamptonshire I then took a break for a couple of years and then joined a local group who where extremely talented John Grimly one of Corby's greatest guitarist who was playing 6 string bass. This didn't work out for me so I then decided to try and form my own group called St Cecilia instead of joining other groups. Within a few months the group was complete which included Rick Moss multi instrumentalist and who helped me and the band learn harmony, and also Keith Hancock (base guitarist and vocals) who had a genius for Lyrics, and who was to lead the band to success, Graham Smith (what a fantastic drummer one of the best Corby has produced) Less Smith Vocals and who sadly died this year and finally me John Proctor (Vocals of sorts) the least talented of the group. We released (written and sang by Keith) a song called leap up and down and wave your knickers in the air and the song got to number 12 in the UK charts and number 4 on Luxemburg and number I believe in Spain, www.youtube.com/japroctor (as performed on the Noel Edmonds show called Time of your life bbc) about a year and a half ago me and Keith met up again well he came round my house after doing Cabaret in and around Spain and we have been practicing in his music room every since well every wednesday. I have just started posting our practice videos onto www.youtube.com/japroctor . I also have a love for the Banjolele/Ukulele (George Formby music) and if you get a chance please have a look and criticise and advice, all advice helps. What I didn't mention is that I have been a lecturer in computing at Tresham Institute in Kettering for about 20 year's similar job to playing on the stage except I give the audience a grade "ha ha ha" we thought of calling ourselves an alternative name to St Cecilia possibly the TOFS two old farts "I am 61 you know" classic phrase. TOF= Two old farts ... more >> Re: St Cecilia Back again by John Proctor (Member 10187589) on 16-Jan-2008 Sorry forgot to mention please check out www.youtube.com/japroctor I know you will rip it to bits because there is know double tracking etc just a camcorder recording out practically acoustic babbling�s.

HANSLOPE OLD COACH OPERATERS	by bazza (Member 10205036) on 20-Mar-2007
HI DOES ANYONE REMEMBER JOHNSONS COACHES OF HANSLOPE TREVOR JOHNSON USE TO RUN THE SET UP. Re: HANSLOPE OLD COACH OPERATERS by Brian Graeme (Member 10209370) on 13-Jun-2007 Hi, yes I remember Johnson's well. Old Ted Johnson (The Old Man) & Edward took over from Belham's in the early sixties; Trevor joined them later. Initially they only had 1 brand new vehicle, 866, a Duple Trooper. Plus a couple of second hand Yeomans. In addition in those earlier days they ran 4 second hand Leyland Tiger Cubs. Old Tom Tap drove with them until his death in 1968. He was a characte r. We used to travel on Johnsons to school in Wolverton & back everyday, as well on services to Northampton & Wolverton. They are gone now, of course, but I have memories of them.
