GUEST,bigJ Skiffle Group (29) Skiffle Group 07 Sep 10

I was watching the "Home Movies" programme on BBC 2 TV last night (Monday) at about midnight when there was shown Michael Winner's first (not really "home") film called "The Square", it was about 20 minutes long.
Its leading – and only – actor was the eccentric A.E. Mathews who was living in a broken-down post-war building which was due for demolition. At the end of the film there was a party in the square with dancing to a skiffle group who played and sang "It Takes a Worried Man". So far as I could make out, among the members of the skiffle group were Jimmy MacGregor – guitar, Shirley Bland – washboard, Russell Quaye or Red Sullivan – tea-chest bass and possibly Rory McEwen – guitar.
I think that the group may possibly have been The City Ramblers – anybody see it or have any other information to add?
The programme is being shown again late on Wednesday night.
