I wonder how many people ended up in A & E doing this dance?

It certainly did bring back memories, at least every one seemed to be enjoying themselves, sometimes when you see young people on the TV they always seem miserable, just my thoughts.

Early 60's memories

When Jean and I were regulars at the Oxford on a Saturday night it was mainly Ballroom with only a short mid session devoted to pop.
It was all played by the wonderful Don Smith Band, supported by the singer Kay Rousselle.
So little of that twist stuff sticks in my mind. My back breaking usually came while Jean attempted to teach me the quickstep and not to step on her best white "heels"!!

M friend and I spent every Saturday night at the Oxford, from 1957/58 to approximately 1963. We saw the end of the George Evan’s band and the first night with Don Smith. I remember an coloured singer really lovely called Marion Williams but not sure if it with George Evan’s or Don Smith. even had had our own lady taking out coats “Anne”. Second from the end a long counter for depositing your cost. We never visited Jessie Ives, my Friends older sister took us to the Oxford and we were hooked. We were teenagers but thought we were so sophisticated😀 such happy memories.

Mac, you mentioned your wife’s white high heels, ask her if she remembers the white Pearl colour high heels with the winkle picker toes.
