Friday Brown 32nd Love Affair Fontana
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?
ReplyDeleteCan anyone supply me with recordings by Friday Brown, in any form at all. Please contact by e-mail yequaynt@aol.com
ReplyDeleteFriday 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.

Friday AKA Marian lives in Skelmersdale, Lancs these days. A very nice lady
ReplyDeleteHave 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!
