Way back in about 1960 I borrowed an LP from our local record library [Remember them?], of Stove Pipe Bands. I seem to remember that it was a sort of Jug Band type sound, but it's been so long I forgot. Anybody know anything about them. Among the other discs borrowed were, Folk Festival at Newport 19??, with Bob Gibson and Bob Camp, and a new sensation called Joan Baez, mind blowing to a youthfull Scots lad, like what I was then.

My Scouser Better Half talks of the Stove Pipe Spasm Band - I THINK from his early Liverpool, UK days/daze (early 60's) not his early Oz days, Melbourne:Sydney (middle 60's)... Anyway, I'll ask him later and get back to you.

There was a very lenghty discussion on playing the stove pipe, different bands and musicians on the Yahoo Jugband Group. I have provided a blue clicky below (I'm bumdiddybum in that group). It extends to cover bazookas and gutters too!

No, I was wrong - my Scouser remembers The Stove Pipe Spasm Band from his early Sydney, OZ daze - middle 60's - and so far he's just sung me snatches like "... I'll be there in the morning if I will ..." -

Any other 'catters remember this crowd??
