Evening All,

 

As well as 1960s style steam trains at the Isle of Wight Railway Steam Railway1960s Weekend, there were a few 1960s vintage motor cars and 1960s music.  One of the groups that performed there was a local group from Ventnor called 'The Hillmans' and I videoed some of their numbers.  This one is 'The Sloop John B', a massive hit for the Beach Boys in 1966:

Morning All,

 

I've just put another short video of The Hillmans at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway 1960s Weekend and this is their version of Elvis Presley's mega hit 'Jailhouse Rock':

Sorry, but IMO they're dire.

To make a change from trains and railways, I've put another clip of The Hillmans at the Isle of Wight Railway 60s Weekend on YouTube.  This time it's The Beatles' 1963 hit 'I Saw Her Standing There':

While on The Beatles theme, 'Back in the USSR' came next:

Although it was a 1960s themed weekend, their next number was slightly later as it was a big hit for T.Rex in 1971:

I've just learnt that the guitarist is Dick Taylor who was a schoolfriend of Mick Jager and Keith Richard; they formed a group which later became the Rolling Stones.  Dick Taylor left, but later he formed another group, the Pretty Things.  In this clip The Hillmans play 'Not Fade Away' which was a big hit for The Stones in 1964 and, prior to that, Buddy Holly in 1957:
