Happy 80th, Allan!

What a milestone for an excellent singer. Wishing him all the best today and here's hoping for some new music soon too! 🎂🎉🎶

Gee Whiz we are all getting old when we see Allan is 80.

I noticed that Allan has actually joined Facebook with a personal profile. He made a post in the 'Allan Clarke Appreciation Society' and there was some confusion as to whether it was actually him or not (anyone remember the fiasco when it appeared that Tony had joined Facebook some years ago?). But it seems genuine, I do hope the fans don't harass him and perhaps he's able to personally keep us up to date with the new album with Graham.
Many happy returns to Allan, I'm so happy that he's still making music at 80 years old, which makes him part of a pretty exclusive club! I also really enjoy Tom Jones' latest album 'Surrounded By Time', which he recorded at 80 years old. Like Allan, still in fine voice and he's adapted his material to suit his mature voice. I still regularly listen to 'Resurgence', so I have high hopes for the new album with Graham.

Yeah, I blame Zuckerberg for that. Too many profiles are fake and even real ones are prone to hacking and little is done about it. 

Then I remembered that admins Carol and Imogen vet every single post (unlike most groups) and they're actually in touch with him so that convinced me (who's seen it all as a Facebook group admin herself in the past). 

Really looking forward to the album. It will brighten up this challenging year so far!

I went onto Allan's profile and checked his friends list. A.o. there is Toby, grandson Sam and Francis Haines, so to me that means it's genuine alright:
