Title: Babbacombe Lee: The Man They Couldn't Hang tv broadcast where's sandy? Post by: Krinoid on August 28, 2009, 10:22:21 AM I finally got a copy of this 1975 TV broadcast with time code. Sandy is listed in the credits with the other current FC members, but the song that was used for the FC Box set of Simon's Breakfast in Mayfair was not on this broadcast. Was it cut? Does anyone know?
Thanks Mark Title: Re: Babbacombe Lee: The Man They Couldn't Hang tv broadcast where's sandy? Post by: BPTNT on August 28, 2009, 10:09:53 PM The copy in the BBC archives is of the (slightly edited) "2nd House" repeat broadcast from a month or so after the original transmission. Unfortunately, the Beeb in their wisdom chopped out Breakfat In Mayfair (Sandy's only contribution); thus, missing presumed wiped. Great, huh? ::)

Thanks for the reply! A website I saw claims that in 1992 this documentary was released on vhs in the uk and that Sandy and Simon's track was released,anyone know about this?

Post by: fstix (Michael) on August 29, 2009, 07:52:36 AM I recall there were certainly plans to release the video around that time, but it never happened. So to have any copy at all is a rare and wonderful thing. :)
The Sandy / Simon version of Breakfast is on the most recent reissue of the Babbacombe Lee CD. Title: Re: Babbacombe Lee: The Man They Couldn't Hang tv broadcast where's sandy? Post by: ThomA on August 30, 2009, 10:03:51 AM Is it Simon or Trevor singing Breakfast in Mayfair? I can't tell.

Post by: ThomA on September 08, 2009, 12:45:14 PM Had another listen to this - it is Simon singing, which leads me to a curious point; was he still in Fairport at this time, or was he guesting with the Fotheringport Confusion lineup? Or was it a still the post Full House with Sandy as their guest?
I haven't seen this show, but it sounds pretty special either way... Title: Re: Babbacombe Lee: The Man They Couldn't Hang tv broadcast where's sandy? Post by: Jim on September 08, 2009, 12:47:29 PM Simon appeared on the tv documentary but wasnt in the band at that time

Jules So the band was Swarb, Peggy, DM, Sandy, Jerry and Simon? Or was Jerry absent too? Title: Re: Babbacombe Lee: The Man They Couldn't Hang tv broadcast where's sandy? Post by: Jamie73 on September 10, 2009, 01:58:20 PM The line up for the Babbacombe Lee TV Show was the 1974-75 line up but with Simon Nicol instead of Trevor Lucas.
The mention of Linda joking about Fotheringport Confusion probably comes from a 1982 concert of her introducing I'll Keep it With Mine onstage - "This is an old Fotheringport Confusion song".

Post by: Malcolm on September 10, 2009, 02:42:29 PM The first time I saw RT outside of Cropredy was solo at the Festival Hall in the late 80's. He played an FC song having intro'ed it as from his Fotheringport Confusion days.
