I don't arry, but ever since they used Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" in the film "Zodiac" (its playing on the car radio as Zodiac murders Darlene Ferrin and leaves her boyfriend for dead) I haven't been able to listen to it without a shiver running down my spine! Of course I will have to go listen to it again now!!! Well, thats me sleeping with the light on again tonight!!! lol!!!Han.

She recalls that the chorus was interspersed with verses which boasted all the different instruments the tingalary man could play, but each verse had to be accompanied by the actions of playing said instrument, e.g. trombone, big bass drum, etc.

Yes! Like I said: Geordie-exile wrote: THENWe each had to play the refrain on an imaginary instrument. All joining in at the end on our own instruments.

I was reminded of this by the recent re-appearance of this thread, and asked my sister without having previously read the earlier stuff. However, I'm pleased it supports your recollections!

Wouldn't that be Jacomelli rather than Jaconelli stutterdog? Peter Jaconelli was the big bloke who had the ice cream shop on the front in Scarborough and became the Mayor there. Sorry geordie ,I thought they were of the same family? Obviously I am mistaken.

Sorry geordie ,I thought they were of the same family? Obviously I am mistaken. The Bond Street Centre thread reminded me of this. While most of us remember Peter Jaconelli, there doesn't seem to be much about the Jacomellis of restaurant fame in Leeds. There's a bit on Leodis:http://www.leodis.net/GuidedTour.aspx?ORDER=2&ID=18but not much else. Any other Leeds info on this pair?
