I don't know what to do with you TP. You were giving out about the last quiz being set in your absence. You're here for this one and I think I've stumped you ;D

Top marks Trisha, well actually half marks. That's the one on the single. Any takers on the LP?

Here's a clue. I'll be Royally surprised if someone doesn't get it. 8)

No, TP..It's on a compiliation of Showbands songs.
Re: Edelweiss - I've found another one but I don't think it qualifies. Basil Henriques & the Waikiki-Islanders had it on an album/cd...(I did have to look for that answer) ;)

Does the LP title 'Stardust' hold a big clue Liamo? ;D

Title: Re: New Quiz--While TP's here
Post by liamo on 08/30/06 at 21:51:59

It certainly does.

Ok then....BB & the Royal Showband.. ;)

Title: Re: New Quiz--While TP's here
Post by liamo on 08/30/06 at 22:03:51

Sorry. Right showband, wrong singer :-[

Title: Re: New Quiz--While TP's here
Post by Trisha on 08/30/06 at 22:21:09

I was being polite to BB! I think the song would have suited Charlie Matthews but I could & probably am...wrong! :P

Title: Re: New Quiz--While TP's here
Post by liamo on 08/30/06 at 22:47:44

No. You are correct. Charlie Matthews on the Royal Showband's LP, The Royals Stardust Show. Las Vegas.

Here are a few bits from The Book to tax the brain.First Showband to release an album Second what do The Royal & The Miami have in common re the charts .Third who were the first Showbands to appear at The London Palladium.Who sang backing vocals on Old Man Trouble and Quick Joey Small both number ones back in the 60s. ;D ;D ;D

Title: Re: New Quiz--While TP's here
Post by liamo on 08/31/06 at 13:40:28

TP. I think the Capitol were the first showband on Sunday Night At The Palladium. :-[

Title: Re: New Quiz--While TP's here
Post by Trisha on 08/31/06 at 14:11:13

The Capitol were first, followed by the Miami in 1964.
The Royal & Miami both had no.1 singles 1963.
The first band to record a single were the Royal. I know that's not the answer to the first question...I thought I'd just throw that one in ;D

Title: Re: New Quiz--While TP's here
Post by alpineseven on 08/31/06 at 14:13:36

Well you could have the answer to two of the questions as The Capitol made the first showband LP and with The Miami were the only showbands to appear on the London Palladium.

Title: Re: New Quiz--While TP's here
Post by liamo on 08/31/06 at 14:17:33

The link between The Royal and Miami could be that they both had three members in the charts. The Royal, Brendan Bowyer, Charlie Matthews and the late Tom Dunphy and The Miami, Dickie Rock, Murty Quinn and the late Clem Quinn.

Post by liamo on 08/31/06 at 15:04:36

Don't see Trisha around so I'll have a stab. It may have been Maxi, Dick and Twink.
