GUEST,Frank Lee Origin: Lambton Worm (58* d) RE: Lambton Worm 24 Jul 07


The girl singers who sang The Lambton Worm on radio and at local pantomimes on Tyneside were indeed The Barry Sisters; there were three of them as I remember, 'though I believe one was not actually related to the others. They used close harmonies similar to those of the Beverley Sisters and the Andrews (Boogey Woogey Bugle Boy) Sisters, and top class performers they were too. The Lambton Worm was also recorded by The Five Smith Brothers on a '78' some time in the '50s., with Blaydon Races on the flip side.
