Kent School Association

As promised in one of my less lucid moments at reu 2006.......Here starts the Kentie chart.....All I need is the song that MOST reminds you of your time at Kent school.....just one is all you are allowed....oh and the artist and year might help too........

I'm waiting!!!!!!!
Gerrie.x.

"Hi gerrie
after the visit down to the disco room the tune that came straight to mind was ""foreigner-i wanna know what love is ""-so that will have to be my choice..83-84 ish.............if anybody chooses stevie wonders""i just called...to say i love you"" be warned i know who you are now (LOL)
taking it easy
owen"

How about smoke On The Water by Deep Purple.

"This is a hard one( No coments please )
Sorry Gerrie iv`e got two. ""With or without you"" - U2 and ""Waisted Years"" - Iron Maiden
from Adam (DJ Spoony!)"

"Is GOTTA be Radar Love by Golden Earring!
Glad you all had a wonderful reunion, sorry I couldnt take part this time! xxx Party Jane "

Hi Gerrie after a whole lotta thinkin.....AC/DC Whole lotta rosie..1978 ish.

"uummmm...sound like a complination list of the Best songs from the Best school of all time..,can`t wait for the Hostert Chronicals EP.

Great choice Owen....that one is a cracker. "

Ermmmm i'll get back to you on this one! Too many to choose!

"It's got to be ONJ and John Travolta with ""You're the One that I Want"" as I danced to this at a dance competition with Rob (can't remember his last name!).

Cheers"

"Queen - Killer Queen, I only have to hear it and I'm transported back to the disco's in Germany both at Kent and the Youth Club, it was the one song that got everyone rushing to the dancefloor - boys included."

"Would have to be Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, not just because that was the biggest thing back in 1975 but because Miss Miller used to play it for us in music lessons. I actually found the classroom on Sunday when we visited the school"

Got to be Bad Company - Can't Get Enough (of your love) 1974 if I remember rightly. First album I bought.
Glad to hear you all had a blast at Loohorst.
I felt a bit choked at some of the accounts of the school visit.
Keep on rocking
Phil

"Now this is my topic!!!
Managed to dwindle it down to 2. Firstly - Master & Servants by DEPECHE MODE. I made my own remixes using just a tape recorder & repeating bits over and over!!!
But ultimate song for Kent has to be RELAX by Frankie Goes To Hollywood. I even went to Dusseldorf to see them in concert . . . let me tell you, that was one of my first gigs at 15 and opened my eyes!!! ""Why are they all wearing leather and not much of it""? ""Why is Holly Johnson riding around on Paul Rutherfords back, they seem very friendly""!!!
Anyone for a game of spoons?"

"....any early seventies stuff by Slade, T Rex or David Bowie.

And, of course, who could ever pass up 'School's Out'...."

"Very difficult as during my 18 months there I went from being a Madness fan, through Heavy Metal and finally Duran Duran! Talk about going from one extreme to another. One of my parting words to my friends when I left 3 days before my 13th Birthday ""You mark my words, the next Duran Duran single will go straight in at no.1"" and it did, the week after I left with ""Is there something I should know"". But I wasn't there for that song so it can't be included.

What I do remember clearly though, was headbanging to Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast at the school disco every Friday lunchtime at the basement of Medway, so it will have to be that one!"

"Boogie nights, Car Wash, Radar Love, God Save the Queen, Black Betty, More than a feeling, Down in the Tube station.
Pushed to just one it would have to be Radar Love. "

"More than a feeling down in the Tube station, Schmed.....Way to go son! "

"Same thoughts here, so many tunes remind me of the school years but the one that sticks out from the rest is ACE OF SPADES- MOTORHEAD"

Just got to be Suzy Quatro 'Down in Devil Gate Drive' Saturday night at Chatham - when the Deal boys were allowed to come over to 'Socialise'
P;eased you all had a good time - the photos are very good and bring back some lovely memories - Sarah xx

Well that's enough for a limited edition KENT SCHOOL MEMORIES VOLUME 1. Any takers for the production?

Ahh well.. save it till Reunion-days revisted! In a bite xx"

Owen.... another late one or two... Cheap Trick Want you to want me.. and Boston.. More than a feeling... Pink Floyd Another brick in the wall. I'd love a copy of the cd.... cheers

would love a copy - pleeeeese

Owen - would love a copy of the cd. Am gutted that nobody has suggested Bay City Rollers!

"So many songs...Crowded House-Don`t dream it`s over. Cock Robin- Just Around the Corner, The Mission - Wastelands, Kate Bush - Running up the Hill, reminds me of the time`s in the Malcolm Club eating pastie and chips ..plus drinking loads of Wobbly. And I guess it wouldn`t be the same without a little bit of Madness!,lol
A pic of the old girl would make a nice CD cover.
Catch 22 springs to mind for a title...uummm"

Come on Ali...who would dare suggest the BCR from the male contingent of the community?....how about the Rubettes.....sweet!

"ALI & ADAM... You need a brain transplant right now..!! Thank heavens Mr. Blobby wasn't around at our time!!
On another note..Owen sent me my pics as a slide show with a very apt little number.Wailed along to it at Donny and now it has a total new meaning.........
She's got a smile that it seems to me...
Reminds me of childhood memories...
Where everything,
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky...
Now and then when I see her face...
She takes me away to that...
special place,
And if I stared too long...
I'd probably break down and cry...... All together now! Aaaahhhhh. IN A BITE XX"

as you can see a lot of thought has gone into this.....and its taken me a while...but there were sooooo many and I said 1 each.....so heres mine.....Meatloaf-paradise by the dashboard light! Ski trip heaven!

"okey dokey folks...deadline is midnight tomorrow,and all you peeps who have mentioned more than one, will have to choose a particular song you want on the cd..i have all the requested tracks so choose your favourite.....still need a name for the cd and a cover any ideas ????laters
owen"

Cd Name?? Heres a few.

Download! The Hostert E.P
Bedlum at Chathum
We did it...medway!
KSA - Golden Years

All good things.....

"Owen - my choice has to be Wasted Years by Iron Maiden, Cheers."

Meatloaf's 'Bat out of Hell'

"Hi Owen, please can I have a copy of the CD??

Thanks
Liz"

"okey dokey chaps..all songs are sorted,but they are in mp3 format,,so they will play on your pc,but maybe not on your stereo (unless of course its mp3 compatible).ill bring a stack of them on the 15th..........owen"

"My choice of title would be.... Slideshow.
As in all the songs represent a certain piece of nostalgic history to someone at some point in their Kent Life, there's another title, Kentlife."

"Whats happening on the 15th? (see owens message ""I'll bring them on the 15th"") is this a date for the diary or a private do?"

No idea. Certainly no-one has asked for an event to be added to the diary ... Owen??

sorry ......invitation only.....not for the kenty diary.

"'Schools out' by Alice Coooper. Seem to remember hearing that quite a few times at those 'social gatherings' at either Deal or chatham. My music taste has advanced quite considerably since then, thank god. Everytime I hear Quattro, Mud, Showaddywaddy (saw them at a union conference in scarborough a few years ago. still crap) Slade,Sweet et al I still cringe. Real music started with the pistols and the clash. Take care all."

Hi Owen

Many thanks for the CD - haven't played it yet but will do tonight - looks great anyways

Thanks again
Cheers
Liz x

Anyone got a track listing of the cd?

RASK.....if you want a copy i'll send you one..still got a couple spare

"Only one allowed? Sorry cant do that as their was too many. For me AC/DC live album, Status Quo/rocking all over the world, Kiss/I was meant for loving you, Blondie/Dennis, Queen/Live killers album........the list is endless. The Muppets on TV (know its not what was asked but its my memories lol) even bought the dvd so my kids can watch them."

"Something dear to us all I'm sure. Margaret Thatcher ""The Greatest Speeches"" ""General election Speech in Finchley 24-9-74"". Otherwise the Skids ""Into The valley"""

Silly sod. I thought it was a new string for a new CD. I will take more time to read them in future :-)

"Hi Owen, Thanx for the offer but all I really need is the listing if poss (I can make up the mp3s for the iPod) - just think of the postage you'll be saving :o) cheers again for the offer."
