Last updated: Wednesday 22 February 2006 For one Sixties Sinner, the beat went on and on . . . FOR Brian Myers, the Five By Five came at the beginning of a remarkable 40-year career in showbusiness - albeit one that has been as much in the backwaters as in the limelight. The flight of The Concordes A FULL-HOUSE of 1,100 screaming teenagers attended Darlington's Civic Theatre's first beat concert last night, said The Northern Echo on December 9, 1964. "Outside there were Beatle-type crowds as police, time and time again, cleared a way through for the great guitar heroes." Was Eleanor's gift a dainty dish to set before the Queen? ELEANOR, Duchess of Northumberland, wanted a dish to set before the Queen. In her glasshouses at Stanwick Hall on the outskirts of Darlington, her gardeners grew the Stanwick nectarine - "white, melting, rich, sugary and delicious" - and the Stanwick elruge - "deliciously flavoured". (An elruge is a very old type of nectarine.)
