Eddie Cochran

[mightywease]

Nah - strike that, he was more 70's than '60;s plus his car hit a tree near Barnes according to Wiki

[Mick-Talbot]

and not Bristol.
why do people answer PK123

[dotty.]

Eddie Cochran, I was staying at my mates in Richmond and drove past the tree Marc Bolan hit.

[boxtops]

If it's Eddie Cochran, wiki says he died in Chippenham, Wilts - is that near enough to Bristol...? ;-)

[dotty.]

it was at the edge of Richmond Park I think,
Mark pk said thanks to someone earlier, i was quite surprised

[boxtops]

He did indeed dotty, thanked everyone for answers, I nearly wrote something but thought better of it.

[dotty.]

[joggerjayne]

James Dean ?

[alexanderd]

It was Eddie Cohrane I saw him the week before in Newcastle

[DSJ]

Eddie Cochran had appeared at the Bristol Hippodrome. After the accident, he was taken to the Bath Royal Infirmary, where he died the following day. Bath & Bristol are very close. This was in April, 1960. I remember it well.

[Count-A-Strong]

If only it were Garth Brooks and the world had been spared all that pain.

[B00]

Oh yeah, that well known Bristolian- James Dean.

Pmsl!

[daoji]

'twas and Oak tree, he was driving a Mini. Marc and his girlfriend both went through the windscreen, very sad.

[dotty.]
