Forget Oasis, The Kinks were the original bad boys of British pop! 60 years after their first No 1, RICHARD LITTLEJOHN pays homage to the band that became the soundtrack to his life

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: They were the original bad boys of British pop and turned sibling rivalry into an art form. No, not Noel and Liam Gallagher. Thirty years before Oasis released their first album, Ray Davies and Dave Davies of The Kinks were already at each other's throats. Fisticuffs on stage were not uncommon, often involving drummer Mick Avory - the 'third Davies brother', according to Dave. A concert in Cardiff came to an abrupt halt when Dave ended up in hospital after Avory hit him on the head with a cymbal.

On The Edge review: A triple bill of touching dramas, all with a welcome splash of optimism, writes CHRISTOPHER STEVENS

Ray Davies of the Kinks was getting all maudlin about it, more than 40 years ago - 'They put up a bowling alley,' he sang in Come Dancing, 'on the site that used to be the local Palais.' Nostalgia for Britain's lost Palais dancehalls supplied the bittersweet twist in the last of a triple bill of short dramas by new writers, part of the On The Edge series. The Final Countdown, by Natalie Burt, depicted the ravages of dementia on a marriage that began on the dancefloor, back in the Sixties. Dora (Eileen Davies) could no longer feed or dress herself - but, as her grandson Terry told a social worker, she wasn't the problem.
