As an Australian and a rock fan....I have always had a special affinity for Bon Scott (the original lead singer of AC/DC when they first 'broke through' for those not aware)


Next week (19th Feb) marks the 39th Anniversary of his Death, which I've only just learned was in East Dulwich...in a car outside 67 Overhill Road...


A sad day to reflect on for his family/friends and AC/DC fans...while also a notable link for East Dulwich with a rock and Roll Hall of Famer...


Any other historic ED rock linkages forumites are aware of?

A friend called Alistair Kinnear, apparently, though visiting not quite the term for it...: http://www.acdcfans.net/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=911

Apparently Edgar Broughton used to live on Lordship somewhere. Various Bonzos lived in the area, around West Dulwich I think. Nick South from Sniff 'n' the Tears lived on Crystal Palace Road. One of the Heavy Metal Kids lived on Dog Kennel and Elvis worked in the chip shop

Some good stuff here about Bon.


Thanks for the links.


I used to walk my dog Toke up Overhill Road at nights, around the block of flats that we used to call the battleship, as that's what it looked like from over by Horniman's museum, as I used to live on the corner of Underhill and Overhill Road, well the 1st house around the corner.


After I heard about Bon I have often wondered if I had walked past the car he was in when taking my dog out, I used to stay up quite late in those days, toking the night away.


Yeah most of us liked to get wrecked one way or another.

    • That's very special ♥️
    • @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit
    • I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.  
    • Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
