This story started with a deceased chiropodist...........

My mother had to recently find a new chiropodist as her original one died in suspicious circumstances earlier in the summer.  The police were called in; haven't heard anything else from my mother about this, so no update there.

She has found a lovely lady and she is part of a locally "famous" family.  Her great uncles were/are part of a locally "famous" group/band.  Now when my mother was telling me the story, hubby piped up, "oh I remember Rue and the Rockets."  That in itself is shocking as he can never remember anything musically!!

Anyhow, my mother was saying she remembers going to dances that they were performing in.  I talked to my dad about them and he knew them.  My dad also was in a band/group, so not sure if he played in the same venue's as they did, or just knew them in passing.

However, unless you were brought up in Cumbria or Northern England in the 60's to the early 2000's you will probably never have heard of them!  

They are your typical wedding/anniversary/dance band, with lots of oldies.  Hope you enjoy the video...it was a blast from a past for all our family.

Suspicious circumstances?! You can't leave us hanging like that. Enquiring minds and all that
