    After hearing of the death of Ruth Pearson it got me Googling and I was shocked to read that 4 members of the iconic dance group Pans People have passed away !

    Teenage memories came flooding back to me of watching them on Top of the Pops and trying desperately to copy their dance routines.....and failing badly!:)

    Ah.. memories!!

      Hadn't realised so many from the group had died too, shame as 70 is no age these days.

      Went to a friends Birthday party years ago, she lived next door to a Pans Person and they all came along, the disco was hilarious because they had their hubbies/partners with them and gave us a performance, wasn't quite sure if it was meant to be funny but the fellas were giving it their all Ed Balls style.

            my memories are sparked by lots of things, pixs, earrings, smells, sounds, books. some good, some rather not be sparked.

                  @pete he played Jesus in the 1977 production called Jesus of Nazareth and after watching it I always imagined that is what Jesus looked like when he was on this earth:smile:

                  He also played alongside Jasper Carrot in The Detectives:biggrin:

                          I still have memories of meeting Richard Attenborough and his wife, actress Sheila Sims, in the 1940's - got the photo somewhere :scratch:

                          Met Eartha Kitt in 1951 - fantastic person and performer :love30:

                          Met Danny Kaye around the same time, I think! Another fantastic performer.

                          Met Julie Andrews, Rex Harrison, Stanley Holloway and a lot of the cast of My Fair Lady at the Dress Rehearsal for the show in the Theatre Royal. 1958

                          And knew a lot of the pop stars from the 1960's

                          A lot of those meetings are still quite vivid in my memory. :) :old:
