	RogerFoster To ignore is human, to follow is divine. Member since Jul 2014 3084 Points	We currently have two different acts called "Shannon" who are considered as one in the Vinyl Albums section. The 1980's Shannon was an American Dance/Disco singer, however the Shannon who did "Abergavenny" in the late '60s was a British Pop act, apparently fronted by Marty Wilde (father of Kim Wilde). This is the L.P. with "Abergavenny" on it. http://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/cgs5001 I see that over at 45cat they have the "Abergavenny" one as Shannon[Marty Wilde] and the 1980s one as Shannon[USA] as it seems there were a few other "Shannon" acts as well. It seems "Abergavenny" was a sizable hit in the U.S.(BB #47 in 1969) though there was no chart action in Britain. However I do remember it got a lot of play on Radio One in The U.K. that summer. It must have come out around July/August as I recall being on Holiday in South Wales and singing it in the car, stuck in a traffic jam on the A40, while going through .... wait for it .... Abergavenny. It's funny how this site brings back long forgotten memories.
