Friday Brown 32nd Love Affair Fontana

Friday Brown 32nd Love Affair Fontana

I came across this side while trawling through my archives and fell back in love with it.

You can find out all about the lady at the excellent website devoted to Manchester Beat Music:

  1. Love it. Have been researching Friday Brown for an exhibition about sounds in Salford. Lovely to hear something straight away so thank you! Can I get back in touch with some questions about other FB tracks?

    Friday was the daughter of my junior school headmaster. I can remember him bringing in a record she had released, and all the kids spent the dinner hour playing the A & B sides in turn nonstop. All I remember was it was an orange label, and both tracks were excellant. It would have been 1961/62. If anyone has any ideas what the record tracks would have been....and where I may find copies...in any format....I would die a happy man lol. Been searching for years.

    Have a look at the Manchester Beat website for Friday, Olaf has done a decent job of giving a potted history.

    Some of the tracks and videos are on Youtube too.

    It's a shame but Ms Brown hasn't got many of the original vinyl recordings herself. I don't think it crossed her mind at the time to keep any for a demand 50 years later. She can still belt out a tune now!
