It was cheap at 30 cents each but informative. It was printed on newsprint & the photos were grainy but I was not that fussy then. A year or so later it disappeared & Fanfare appeared. It was refreshing with better quality paper & cost 40 cents a copy. Most importantly, many of their photos were in colour. One thing that pissed me off was it censored the long hair of males until they looked awful. But I would use colour pencils to add the missing hair back. I used to cut the photos to stick them to my handwritten song book.Bird Dognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-41417556415973353472015-11-21T10:07:29.483+08:002015-11-21T10:07:29.483+08:001) Yes FL, you are absolutely right about RADIO WE...1) Yes FL, you are absolutely right about RADIO WEEKLY. I used to buy the tabloid quite often, reading the many articles and admiring the photos found inside. <br /><br />It's a pity that it is not archived on the Internet like the Straits Times is today. An interested reader needs to go all the way to the main National Library to read the collection and pay $1 for each photo-copied page.<br /><br />Again thanks for your contribution and visit. It's important to have readers like you who keep the postings alive and vibrant with your comments and knowledge.<br /><br />2) Thanks to BLUECOOL too for your comment on TIDBITS on another posting.ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-25112829117255461132015-11-21T10:04:32.657+08:002015-11-21T10:04:32.657+08:00About the TIDBITS (60's girl vocal group same ...About the TIDBITS (60's girl vocal group same cohort with Checkmates, Trailers, etc): <br /><br />Yes, I remember snippets of that very first Talentime, and do agree with Lam Chun See when he said that it was "a little controversial". "The Titbits" if I recall correctly is what the name of the singing trio was at the time (they later changed their name to "The Tidbits") were good, but I was among those who expected T.F. Tan to win with his rendition of "I'm Coming Home" by Tom Jones. And the most talked about topic during the heats was the performance of "My Bonnie" by an Ah Kua, whose name I cannot recall.<br /><br /><br /><br />BLUECOOL (click here to read)http://singapore60smusic.blogspot.sg/2010/08/tidbits-i-believe-breaking-up-is-hard.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-19618848911044178562015-11-20T22:03:06.547+08:002015-11-20T22:03:06.547+08:00Hi, Andy, thanks for featuring some 60s local band...Hi, Andy, thanks for featuring some 60s local bands. It brings back sweet memories. Back in the 60s in my secondary school days, my brother & I used to share costs to buy the RADIO WEEKLY (local tabloid)every weeks ! It featured music scenes,pop charts, local bands and international artistes from Britain, US,etc. with pictures. That's how we got to know many of them.FLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03429286415685838183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-43895484396180944292015-11-20T21:14:19.280+08:002015-11-20T21:14:19.280+08:00Thanks again to all especially Denyse for sharing ...Thanks again to all especially Denyse for sharing post and friends.

When it first came out no one had any idea who they were but the credited songwriters were Jayram & Pete. As a young fan of the Surfers at that time, I could recognised their voices belonged to Jay Shotam & Peter Diaz.Bird Dognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-69909223004676422852015-11-19T23:42:39.843+08:002015-11-19T23:42:39.843+08:00Hi How are you doing?Hi How are you doing?VICTORIA KHANnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-62602130449324172052015-11-19T23:40:14.854+08:002015-11-19T23:40:14.854+08:00Thanks to Bas Linders and Alphonso Soosay for liki...Thanks to Bas Linders and Alphonso Soosay for liking article.FACEBOOKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-30097610712622624042015-11-19T23:31:21.260+08:002015-11-19T23:31:21.260+08:00Hi Andy, pleasure to meet you here.

The Group had a very unique sound in total.<br /><br />I had my experiences performing with them along with my very own bands namely - The Idols and J and D'Peddlers as a guest band during the T-Dance at the Golden Venus in the 60's (just note that we were in school back then).<br /><br />During that time the the vocals were from The Cyclones and Bryan Neale .
