Great thread Rocka - really enjoyed it. Just watching an old episode of Brian Johnson's Life on the road with Mark Knopfler filmed at the Spanish City. Lots of old clips of the fair, and it turns out Knopfler was in a rockabilly band called Cafe Racers before he formed Dire Straits.

Cheers FLC :cheers:

I've checked on Youtube for Brian Johnson's life on the road, I could only find a few snippets. Was it something you had taped, or is on 'catch up' on TV?

I'd be very interested to see this programme.

Found it on Sky Arts on NOW TV. It's season 2 episode 3.

Brilliant documentary about The Goose Fair, also the history of 'The Cock on a Stick'.

Maybe after this thread moves to gold we could have another more general thread for fairgrounds / travelling fairs etc
