A couple of photos

http://michaelcooper.org.uk/C/audreyj.htm there's a couple of photos of Ruby with the actress Audrey Jeans if you scroll down the page of this link. Are these in the library? Somewhere in this site it also mentions that Ronnie Carrol was spotted by Rubys father. If all this is known already apologies.

Re: Unusual but at least it remembers Ruby

I agree totally but I wonder why the artist chose Ruby and as you say where apart from the name is the connection. ?

Re: News Regarding Park Naming

The trouble with the BBC is that unless your story is about the liberal left or some minority or other they dont want to know...the BBC is a shadow of its former self these days. I dare say they would put that idiot Russell Brand on at the drop of a hat.

Re: Ruby's Fontana Tracks

Well done. If the powers that be have any sense they will get back to you..for the life of me even as a casual.observer of this site and Rubys music it offers great potential for a documentary programme. Good luck and keep us posted.

The more you can pass it round people in the know including any veteran entertainers or broadcasters the better. Its got to be worth a try . Maybe Ruby fans could e mail the BBC local statio...
