Subject: RE: Help: Winchester Cathedral you're bringin' me From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 19 May 00 - 06:43 AM New Vaudeville Band ( I suspect a studio line-up of session men, fronted by a personable singer for tv appearances) RtS |

Here's the quote from the Bonzo Dog Web Site
In late 1966 Geoff Stephens offered them [the BDB] the job of being the New Vaudeville Band following the success of Winchester Cathedral, recorded by session musicians. Only Bob Kerr wanted to do it and he left the Bonzos, later forming Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band which still [1994] carries on the early Bonzo tradition. Subsequent comments such as "you're just like the New Vaudeville Band" pushed the Bonzos towards rock music.

If you go here allmusic you'll find a list of albums it has appeared on. |
