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.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
