TWINKLE: In  Memoriam ** From Belgium: The Pebbles, Tenderfoot Kids ** From Catalu,ya: Pau Riba ** Peanut Butter Conspiracy  **

Twinkle (Lynn Annette Wilson-Rogers), singer and songwriter, born 16 July 1948, Surbiton, Surrey; died 21 May 2015, Godshill, Isle of Wight.
By Alan Clayson:

“Terry,” maiden single by Twinkle—who has died of cancer, aged 65—caught if not the mood, then a mood of 1964. Concerning a biker who, irked by his girl’s infidelity, zooms off to a lonely end of mangled chrome, blood-splattered kerbstones and the oscillations of an ambulance siren, it had been an instant cause célèbre. As well as distressing the BBC, it also suffered a banning on ITV’s Ready Steady Go, not for the death content so much as its non-conformity to the series’ Mod specifications—for there was no doubt about Terry’s identity. There was, however, some speculation about Twinkle’s: a London dolly-bird in her John Lennon cap, striped jumper and kinky boots—“I never wear anything except boots” ran one press release—singing about a leather boy with a greasy quiff. It was like West Side Story, wasn’t it: a Mod loving a Rocker?” READ MORE HERE: http://ugly-things.com/twinkle-1948-2015/

POP FROM BELGIUM: THE TENDERFOOT KIDS

En juin dès sa sortie, leur premier single, The Bird And The Hunter, produit par Barclay, devient disque de la semaine dans l’émission radio de la RTB : Formule J.  Dans la foulée, Marc Moulin prend le relai en passant régulièrement le 45 T dans Cap de Nuit.  Notons une excellente face B avec Tomorrow, The Moon.  Le disque se vend plutôt bien en Wallonie. Les musiciens changent de statut. Ils font de moins en moins de bals ou de thés dansant et passent désormais en attraction. Rapidement, un second single est prévu. Ce sera Bongo Man et Hold On, I’m Coming en face B, qui sortira toujours chez Barclay. Leur popularité les amène à assurer avec les Pebbles la première partie du spectacle de Michel Polnareff à l’Ancienne Belgique, à Bruxelles, durant une semaine.
