I just discovered that Dusty attended St Annes Convent School in Northfields, Ealing. I know the area very well as I used to live around there...she also worked in Bentalls Dept. Store in Ealing Broadway http://www.simonbell.com/Ealing.html ..I was there just last week....in it's place now there's a McDonalds and TK Maxx ......that's progress.....
@philipnareike@Avante Oh I'm in for the Dusty tour too - I was at college in Ealing - I think it;s a uni now. Haven't been back for years. I'd love a group photo outside the Central London Group Grill Bar. The Ripper tour is much more round my neck of th woods now. Do we all have to dress like @jackietheripper ?
@lindatee Oh, you know Ealing....the College is down towards South Ealing, not far from the old Ealing Studios......I've developed a fascination with this Central London Group Grill Bar...a friend of mine with a Fish and Chip shop along the same road told me the old Italian couple still live there....50 years after it shut down!
@Avante Well, we definately need a few 'Ripper Victims'......think wench in a blood stained Victorian style dress....that should do the job! You don't have to ....a female Ripper could be good too ...

philipnareike
@pez Dusty's 60's output was so fabulous ....so many incredible tracks...
BladeRunner
@philipnareike @jackietheripper what's a Ripper Costume?!
philipnareike
@BladeRunner Just something that Jack the Ripper would wear....maybe a black cloak, top hat and carrying a big carving knife.....
BladeRunner
@philipnareike I might have a song for it... and I'll wear a top hat!
