Subject: RE: Fivepeny piece, anyone remember them?
Yes, I'll hold my hands up and say I remember them...although you really ought to be talking to someone from Bolton or at least Lancashire. They are featured on "Lanky Spoken Here" CD with two numbers. I think their "Biggest Hit" was a ditty called Eeh Bah Gum! although an LP I have has a good rendition of "My Brother Sylvest" although they may have heard it from Mike Harding (or did Mike Harding hear it from them?) They were mainly a Cabaret Showband ...but they at least sang in tune and practised a bit. They had a miserable looking Bass player who has recently died, I think!
