For no particular reason the memory of The Alberts, and especially of Dougie Gray, popped into my head.

Dougie was a regular at Unity Theatre Folk Club in Mornington Crescent (London), with his trombone and his version of "Goodbye Dollie Gray", and the cry "It may be rubbish, but it's British Rubbish".

In the big world his band The Alberts were the centre of a theatrical entertainment "An Evening of British Rubbish" along with Bruce Lacey and Ivor Cutler, in 1963.

"They had a residency at Peter Cook's Establishment Club in London. Lenny Bruce met them there and invited them to come and perform in the United States. They travelled across on the Queen Mary entertaining/annoying other passengers with their antics which included riding penny-farthing bicycles around the decks. They arrived in New York to find Bruce had been arrested." (From Wikepedia).

So does anyone know what happened since then? Or any memories?
