Wow, so rare I couldn't even find a reference to it in AH's biog (vol 2)!  On Facebook, Simon contends there are some "other musical items from later in the show", so hopefully they might appear some time too.

Ashley is miming to another voice on this, I assume.  And that's a rather hairy young Ric Sanders, too.  Wonderful stuff, if not their finest moment.   Wink

Thanks for passing it on.

I recognise Ashley, John Tams and Simon but who is the fourth man who later plays piano? Also, anyone know the drummer?

No need to reply - Katy's Dad reckons Pete Bullock and Michael Gregory.

Doesn't look much like Pete Bullock (or at least his pic on Rise Up).

I reckon it's Brian Protheroe - he was involved with the Albions/National Theatre...

Thanks chaps - Brian Protheroe it is. I knew I'd seen his face before on the telly - he played Mr Bell in North and South and more recently was in Spooks. Wiki lists him as a member of The Albion Band. Personally, I think it is the mouth that clinches it.

Wow, so rare I couldn't even find a reference to it in AH's biog (vol 2)!  On Facebook, Simon contends there are some "other musical items from later in the show", so hopefully they might appear some time too.

Ashley is miming to another voice on this, I assume.  And that's a rather hairy young Ric Sanders, too.  Wonderful stuff, if not their finest moment.   Wink

Thanks for passing it on.

Out of interest, remembering the Ashley Hutchings/Pam Ayres connection from The Guvnor Part 2, I've just looked it up and the story of this TV show is referred to in the biog. Pam had seen The Albion Band somewhere and asked them to guest on her show, they played the number in this clip, Postman's Knock and a couple of others.

I'll have to look for that.  Which year was it?

If you have The Guvnor Part 2 : Always Chasing Rainbows cd-rom, the story's in Act 1, page 223, and the year is 1981.
