I'm posting some photos of my 21st birthday party as I wanted to ask whether any 21 yr old today would be happy with a party as sedate as this one looks now!

This was in November 1967, at the Astronaut on Union Street. It was organised by my mum who was a great party animal, but her idea of fun was party games - you can see in two of the photos people are playing musical hats - a bit like musical chairs, but passing hats from person to person.

Most of the folks at the party were my 12 (male) classmates from college plus their girlfriends, and my aged rellys and some of my dad's work colleagues. No disco or band, just a dansette record player which you will see on the table in one of the pics.

Anyway... here are the pics. Me and my mum - she's the only one really dressed up for a party, most of the others are wearing cardies or woolly frocks! The two barmen. Two pictures of the game of musical hats. Girls in the latest fashion. And some very sedate dancing - note the record player on the table.

How times have changed! - enjoy!
