Chuck, they were four lads who shook the world. I would like to see both Wils and Jones at our local Country and Western club, but that would mean that I would have to believe in ghosts. The answer to the Blackburn question is a track from the fantastic 'Sgt Pepper' album, 'a day in a life' in which one of the verses goes; I read the news today, oh boy 4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire And though the holes were rather small They had to count them all Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall I'd love to turn you on.Poetry, simply poetry, that album took the world by storm during the summer of love in 1967.

No Beatles fans here then. Small Faces and all that flowed from them. AoNThere was always the Jagger crowd and this is a remakable night out vid - Stones doing Muddy Waters. I'm sure that Mick Hucknell is in the crowd.

Hi Steve, sorry but I have judged that footage to be not western like, it just looks like some boys messing around in a bar or someplace, with cowboy hats on. I bet that if you went into any establishment in the USA around that time, you would see men with hats like that. It had no other reference to a western other than that. Our footage had tepees, an Indian and a real cowboy.
Hi HR, before the fab four Britain was a boring place with acts like Cliff, as there was no bands to talk of, the Beatles not only changed this but also wrote their own stuff, the quality of their music grew with each album, hell they even wrote the Rolling Stones first hit as a gift of friendship between the bands.
The Beatles blazed a trail for other bands to get into the charts and even opened the door for them in the States. It was this trail which bands like the small faces took advantage of, otherwise many of these blues based bands would be relegated to blues clubs in London and not being chased by hordes of fans.

Hi Ian
I judge that the costumes in that film should be looked at by Michael Bad Hand for authenticity. They look fake to me.
Regards
Steve

Probably are Steve, but at least they made an effort, that New Jersey clip could have been filmed on any given day, in any given bar. The English are not famed for waring cowboy hats, but to a lot of people in 1899 in the USA, it would have been the norm.

Round one goes to Ian. There is a scantily clad young lady walking around the ring with a #2 card!

There is a scantily clad young lady walking around the ring with a #2 card! I thought Sue gave that job up years ago, I must have a word with her since she turned 62 years young today. Happy Birthday sweetheart! Ian

Crowds thronged the streets to glimpse a cavalcade of 800 performers, 180 horses, 18 buffalo, 10 elk, 2 deer, and 5 Texas longhorns as they arrived at a purpose built arena in Earl’s Court in 1887 for Blue Horse's American Plains Extravaganza whilst the hunt for Jack the Ripper was at its height. Amongst the performers was Blackburn Sioux Charging Thunder. Let's hear it for Lancashire's own Ogalala and Huncpapa Sioux. In November 1887, they first came to Salford setting up camp on the banks of the Irwell and performing to sell out crowds in a huge arena where Sioux warriors and their cowboy counterparts would recreate classic gunslinging scenes from the Wild West or daring acts of horsemanship. Buffalo Bill returned to Salford in style in 1903 but when the show eventually rolled out of town, a 26-year-old Lakota chief called Charging Thunder stayed behind. He never returned to his prairie homelands and instead married Josephine, one of the American horse trainers in the show. After first settling in Darwen, they moved to West Gorton in Manchester where they raised a family. Study in ScarletBruce Liddic - Did a “red wave” of warriors overwhelm Custer’s troops and prevent them from mounting any resistance? Or was Custer on the offensive and fighting a pitched battle almost until the end? Listen to the evidence on both sides and decide for yourself!

List of Western films before 1920
1894: Annie Oakley Bucking Broncho Buffalo Bill Buffalo Dance Sioux Ghost Dance
These films were all shorts produced by William K. L. Dickson at the famous Edison "Black Maria" studio. All the performers were from Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show with Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill himself exhibiting their rifle shooting skills. The two dances featured three members of the Sioux tribe who were thus the first Native Americans to perform on film.
1899: Cripple Creek Bar-room Scene Kidnapping By Indians (1 minute film shot in Blackburn Lancashire U.K)
