There's been some great ones played that I can remember over the years and Jim's named a good few already but I remember a few I always heard on the old bumper cars lol
I feel love....Donna Summer
Money for nothing...DIre Straits
It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it...Fun Boy three.
Perfect...Fairground Attraction.

It was also good to see talking of music of the eighties the hundreds that turned out on their scooters in Coventry to honour Terry Hall......Nice tribute I thought.

Late summer 1977 was a good time for fairgrounds! Magic Fly, Oxygene, I Feel Love, Ma Baker.... I remember 'em well.

I first heard Blue Monday at a fairground , just after it came out.
They kept playing it over and over on the waltzers.

Lol,I really liked that track at the time! I'll have to dig it out from the attic and give it a play!

Back to the thread....come up and see me, Cockney Rebel

The track that most accurately reflects my personal funfair experiences...Rusholme Ruffians!
