BON SCOTT & AURRA

 I don't remember the circumstances, dates, how or why, but I do remember going back to the Smaller Shop (after doing relief during the Summer period) & the Old Boy "Wally" (Butcher/Manager) was retiring!

The New Manager was a Chap by the name of "Steve" (cant remember his Surname!) he came from a Bigger Branch about 4/5 miles away in Great Yarmouth, he has it turned out was Alright to work with!

He lived not to far from where I lived, so most Morning's he would pick me up (in his Car) on his way to work, so that was Handy!

I cant remember what type of Car he had, but I can recall, He Liked "Heavy Rock Music" and his Favorite Band was AC/DC, & his Hero was "Bon Scott" (He had earlier in 1980, Died) in the car every morning he had allsorts of  Heavy Music blaring out!

You would Hear him coming about a 5 minute's before he arrived with the Music so loud!  something else I remember, On the inside of his car, on the Roof, there was a Giant Poster of his Hero "Bon Scott"

I didn't go to  much on Heavy Rock (Especially them School Boy Shorts!), but He Hated Soul/Black Music with a Passion!

But as I said we got on Well, and worked there together with "The Other Old Boy" Percy, for several Month's.

As for the Music around this period, A new Band had their Debut Release out, it was "Aurra" they were basically Ex Member's from "Slave" including Starleana Young, Steve Washington, Tom Lockett Jr, Phillip Fields & Curt Jones.

The Album was called "Aurra" and it was on the Dream Record Label through the Salsoul Record Label.

Best Tracks were "Who Are You" & "When I Come Home"

Aurra released a total of 4 Albums during the 80's before changing their name to "Deja" around 1987.
