Hi! … and a very warm welcome to everyone who may have joined us for the first time at ‘Once Upon a Time in The ’70s’ as a result of hearing our mention on the Johnnie Walker’s Sounds of The ’70s radio show.

I should firstly thank Johnnie and his team for allowing John Kongos his second, and I suspect, final entry into The Jukebox.

I have to concede, I took pelters at school for buying this particular single, and the album from which it was lifted. OK, so it wasn’t a ‘cool’ purchase like an L.P. by Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple or Cream, but isn’t individuality to be admired in music? It prepared me though, for the stick I was to get when I later confessed to also being a fan of The Sweet. 😀

So – here we go …. one more time!

When Paul and I started this blog two and a half years ago, the aim was to present something different to the many social media pages that offer reminders of the greatest decade. We wanted to create a space where readers from around the world could share specific memories and experiences of growing up / living through this period.

We’re certain you’ll find much to interest and amuse you from the three hundred-plus articles posted so far. And if you do like what you see, please help us spread the word via whatever social media you favour.

We have both a Private Facebook Group and a Public Page; we are on Twitter (or whatever it’s called today) Instagram and Pinterest. Links may be found on the Home page of this blog.

Curating ‘Once Upon a Time in The ’70s’ is just a hobby for Paul and myself. We don’t look to generate an income, nor do we seek to encourage advertising on our blog. We aim to offer uninterrupted, light-hearted and informative articles relating to the late ’60s and 1970s. That’s it!

Paul and I sure packed a lot into those ten years or so, as did our other regular contributors, but there’s a limit to our personal experiences.

So, if you have a story you’d like to share, please do let us know. Our contact and submissions details can be found on our … erm … Contact & Submission page. 😉

Thanks for stopping by.

We hope you enjoy the memories.

COLIN & PAUL
