"In 1987 and following the first defeat for their team in 1 1 years, Oxford vowed to gain revenge and recruited a number of American international class, postgraduate rowers. Sadly they all fell out resulting in the "Oxford Mutiny" forcing the selectors to drop all of them in favour of the reserve crew, who then went on to win by four lengths."
My favourite view of Barnes! You're in London but it reminds me of living by the sea....

Between Lonsdale Road and the River Thames, Leg o' Mutton Reservoir is a secluded, quiet, hidden gem in Barnes!

The Ealing Club Cic Presents: the Ben Waters Band + Special Guests
Key shattering Boogie Woogie" is how the Guardian newspaper described Ben Waters after a concert at Ronnie Scott'sknown for energetic performances and powerful renditions of early boogie-woogie and Rock n' Roll. Waters always plays music that he loves, the music of his heroes Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Amos Milburn, Little Richard, Ian Stewart and a host of other piano players. This is the music that makes him happy! This is why he dropped out of school to go on tour with Shakin Stevens. This is why he has devoted 35 years to touring the world, a devotion that's not about fame, money or popularity, just about getting the music right! Funnily enough, this nonchalance to fame and focusing on the music he loves has led Waters to work with some of the biggest names in the world. Jools Holland, Shakin Stevens, Cher, The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Imelda May, Mick Hucknall, Johnny Depp and many moreRead more
