Thanks Cormac, another chapter from the life of the late Bobby Carr.
A little story of my own relates to Bobby and the police.
The story I heard was that he was parked on Westgate Road somewhere near the Hofbrauhaus and, upon returning to his car - full of Broon no doubt - he found he'd lost the key to the Krooklok that was attached to the steering wheel immobilising the car. Bobby promptly approached a passing policeman and asked him if he could get him a hacksaw!
Thanks for sharing your stories. Bobby Carr had a daughter. Lizanne Macintosh came to Canada and gave me up for adoption. I did meet some of my biological family and corresponded with Bobby's brother until he had a stroke. I know that Bobby went on to marry a different Liz.
I love to sing. Currently, I sing for a Salvation Army Church. I'd love to create my own web page, CD, and take it up to a next level. It's funny how I never learned any instruments, but I love listening to instrumental, classical, and jazz music. It seems everything came late in life for me. For Bobby, success came early in his life for me. I would be interested in learning more.

I wonder if this is the wonderful guy who played trumpet with the Viv Rod Combo, resident band at the Domino Club in Bedlington during 1968/69. I was dj/compare and sat in occasionally on guitar. Bobby was a real character, heart of the Combo and life & soul of any party. At the time he drove a little MG Midget. For the 12 months I knew him (I was only 20) we had a great relationship then I left to work in Middlesbrough and Crewe for a few months before leaving to work in Germany for several years. If it is the same Bobby Carr I would love to know what happened to him.
