Luke Campbell

Once served Norman Collier when I was a kid. Kept dropping parts of my sentences (like I was using a dodgy microphone, pretty much his entire life work). He wasn't amused and called me a prick.

 

Thomas James Smith and nis nephew.

 

I went to Cunny n Riley too

 

Yes there was....one of the German guards name translates as My Hill

 

Gay-Yee Westerhoff...the Cellist from the all girl quartet BOND

 

I was only there for three years (55 to 58) then I moved schools. I recal my first teacher was Mrs Mullins and another with whom I was in love - Miss or Mrs Armitage. When were you there?

 

Cosey Fanni Tutti.

 

To be fair it's more like asking for a list of world famous people from Örebro a provincial City in the middle of nowhere.

Ola Brunkert (1946 – 2008), drummer in ABBA
Rob Marcello (born 1977), guitar player
Nina Persson (born 1974), singer
Mats Ronander (born 1954), singer, guitar player, and composer
Dan Swanö (born 1973), singer and multi-instrumentalist
Jasmine Kara (born 1988), singer
Blues Pills (2011–present), rock band
Dead Man (2003–present), psychedelic folk rock band
Lolita Pop (1979–1992), rock band
Millencolin (1992–present), punk rock band

you can get a list of semi-famous people know in Sweden (perhaps) but no one globally famous.

 

Jewellers weren't they ? Or was is summat to do with petrol stations ? I forget.

 

Blues Pills is one of my favourite albums at the moment.
