@TheMumper I’ve learnt something new today 👍

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon Geography Song is the brilliant ‘One summer in New York’ by the much missed songwriter Billy Franks.

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@jillwebb2005 Shocked, Just Got Lucky is a proper classic. Top tune!

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon @Mosesboyd_ Physical touch song is ‘Soft Touch’ by the brilliant Nine Below Zero ( still one of the best live bands going!).

Fave new song is easy to chose, ‘There’s nothing above music & love’ by Earth o Naut. So uplifting and is on what is (so far) the best album released this year!

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon Sun kissed song has to be Tuesday Sunshine by The questions.

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon I miss Hammersmith Palau’s - saw Big Sound Authority & Fruits of Passion there.
Borderline Club saw Paul Barry play there.
Marquee saw Faith Brothers play there.
The Venue saw QTips, The Step & 9 Below Zero there.
All great gigs by great bands in great venues!

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@NineBelowZero1 Hmm, I don’t think posting one from Canvey Island is in the same league as these guys!!

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@JamesSkellyBand Has to be either’Rubber soul’ or ‘Revolver’ for me. But to be honest they didn’t make a bad album so you can’t argue with anyone’s choices!

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@RobertoFerdenzi @CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon Saw the Faith Brothers quite a few times, and then also Billy Franks solo after. Brilliant band, amazing live and Billy (along with Lee) was one of the UKs greatest songwriters yet remains unknown by and large.

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon Song for the day has to be ‘Tuesday Sunshine’ by the mighty The Questions. Deserved to be a massive hit back in the day and it still sounds like summer today!

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@CrowleyOnAir @brookecombe @TheTrashcans @andyjcrofts That Andy Crofts tune is top! Such an underrated songwriter.

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@CrowleyOnAir @RobertoFerdenzi @marcushayes001 @mr_markwilliams @mikelawrencetv @MaureenDunlop1 @Queenofthe80s @Indiepopkid71 @clashboy23 I miss The Marquee ( some great Faith Brothers gigs there, especially the Xmas one), The Borderline Club ( seeing Debbie Harry there & An amazing gig by Paul Barry there after The Questions split) and The Venue (Q-tips gig there was top!)

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon Song is ‘This Evil Man’ by Billy Franks. Posters on my bedroom wall were of the brilliant & soulful singer Julie Hadwen of Big Sound Authority, Tracie Young & The Questions!

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@MRCOOLSDREAM I personally think that the record label underestimate the appeal of TSC as they seemed to only ever want to concentrate on The Jam in the past. Maybe this release may change that view…

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@TheMumper Loved The Action. Great video. In my opinion Reg was as great a singer as Stevie Marriott (hopefully that doesn’t get me too much criticism on here!).

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon I’m going for,
Work and Play by The Questions
Raining in Berlin by The Sound of Pop Art

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@CrowleyOnAir @BBCRadioLondon Bit late to the party but I agree with Tuesday Sunshine by The Questions. Hopefully 2026 will be the year their catalog gets reissued and they get an online social media presence.

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@LennonStephen Still hoping that one day we’ll get an official The Questions social media presence & a cd/digital release of their catalog. Love seeing rare pics & hearing memories, stories etc. So little online & my memory of live gigs is fading!!

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@RestIsFootball @GaryLineker @alanshearer @MicahRichards How would the players / teams from today who are used to playing on bowling greens cope playing on pitches like the one at the Baseball Ground, Derby from back in the day? Would teams who play out from the back be as successful as long ball teams on those pitches?

[Jimi_Gear @GearJimi]

@Northstandhero The Questions were a great band. This should’ve been released as a single, would’ve been great exposure for the Respond label acts.
