The advert from December 1977 is one that cropped up in the Tele on a regular basis back then.
It was for local soulsters, Susan Childe & The Flamingoes, the band who got everyone up on the Barracuda dancefloor.
Hidden away under all the nosh details in the ad, you may be able to spot the Barracuda slogan - "The Good Life".
You will also be able to see the same slogan on the t-shirts the two Barracuda babes are wearing - the lassies posing for the camera in the nightclub in 1978.
Thanks to Yvonne and Marky.
Lordy! They look so happy to be there!
ReplyDeleteThe other two as well, they're not even bothering to look at the camera! :-P
ReplyDeleteAnytime I hear a steel band it reminds me of The Flamingos (with Ray and Shirley King) doing their versions of the hits of the day. I used to wonder what out of town visitors thought when visiting the J.M. or The Big Fish to be confronted with this fully fledged Caribbean dance band banging out some great music. Could only happen in Dundee aye?
