RIVER PEOPLE

Funny how records spark off half forgotten memories.

This one takes me back to Romeo & Juliet’s night club, Liverpool, in the late 1970s.


As my mates disco danced around handbags and ate chicken in a basket, I slipped upstairs to discover a more intimate funky room where they were dancing to ‘River People’ by Weather Report.


I had a slow dance with a girl from Wallasey who made her excuses and left. Was it me or the last train home she needed to catch?

I was just happy that someone actually wanted to dance with a shy and awkward guy like me.
