MASH Lost Trousers - mid 70s duo -Weybridge Surrey (UK) (19) Origins: Lost Trousers 16 Mar 10


Firstly, if there is a more appropriate place for this request please tell me, I'm new here.

Back in the mid '70s a duo called "Trousers" played Wednesday nights at the Flintgate pub in Weybridge, Surrey to an enthusiastic following. They were called Trousers because they were a pair, and tended to get a bit dirty. Roger and Tim played guitar and banjo respectively, and were a superb and very talented act. Songs included standards like Whiskey in the Jar, San Fransisco Bay Blues, The Barley Mow, The Old Dun Cow, Lobster song, O'Reilley's Daughter as well as self penned items such as Wilfred the Parrot, Bubonic Blues and The Abortive Love Affair of Constable McLaggan and WPC Sadie Stick...They appeared on TV on Opportunity Knocks with a rather anodyne song entitled Bottoms, and produced a cassette themselves.

Where are they now? I have a feeling they may have originated in Ewell or Epsom - or somewhere that way but cannot be sure.

The reason I ask is because I recorded them one evening and have cleaned up the tape and put it on CD. It is something I think they'd be proud of.

Any leads will be gratefully recieved.
