Let Shakin Stevens take you on a tour of Ely and his Cardiff haunts

Surprisingly entertaining video. I'm impressed that Shaky's Keyaaaardiff accent hasn't changed.

There was a kid in my local primary school, who swore blind that he was Shakey's cousin. Everyone took the piss out of him, saying he was full of shit.

One day Shakey turned up at the school to pick up the kid. In your face, bullies!

He's back in the charts!

Shakin’ Stevens has returned to the Official UK Album Chart Top 10 with the BMG released ‘Singled Out’, his first Top 10 entry since 2005’s ‘The Collection’. A new entry at number 10, the 54 track, 3CD/ 2LP collection is the first ever to include all of Shaky's solo singles.

Gotta love the only welsh communist to have a number one with a song about lesbians*

Having looked at the top 20 albums this week - all but three of them seem to be aimed at the over 40s.

I'm not sure being in the top 10 equals hip anymore.

Nobody was calling Shakey hip!

He looks like a younger Cliff Richard nowadays.

I saw Shakin Stevens and the Sunsets before he became famous, cracking Rock n Roll band, pure, raw and loud. Must have been early 75ish.

I used to work with one of his brothers. I don't think they got on very well and he would get pissed off if his brother was mentioned
