Yes i had to dig very deep for this one as my street cred is at an all time low or maybe my questions are just too easy. :-[ :-[ Back to the showbands what showband released a single on the infamous Star Club Label in Germany back in the 60s.
:'( :'( :'(

The Impact Showband with the late Rory Gallagher played in Germany so maybe it was them :-[

Sorry Liamo i am not aware of any recordings by the band .You are trying . ;) ;) ;)

Hey TP.... You're trying too.........Very Trying......Trying my blinking patience. ???

Now come on Liamo between yourself and Trisha yis have been cleaning up of late on the questions but sorry its time the gloves were off and things will become difficult i hope .Finding questions to beat the pair of yis just aint as easy as i thought and me not even been a showband head the beat groups are more my style but we must look ahead.Not sure if it is any help but they also toured most of Germany with Chuck Berry which no doubt led to the record deal.Naturally there is a photo of the showband on the site but try finding it. ;D ;D ;D

I don't suppose it was The Witnesses :-[

As i am the judge and jury on this one i can say it definitily was not The Witnesses.Question dismissed. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

I might lodge an appeal :-[

TP. Is there a clue in what you said last?

A couple of questions TP. Is this referring to a Showband or Beat group? Has Rory Gallagher got anything at all to do with the question? Reason I ask is because he played in Hamburg -StarClub in '65...& he was strongly influenced by Chuck Berry around that time.  8)

Liamo if there was a clue it was not intentional and Trisha the one and only Rory was not involved.The band were originally a 5 piece and added a brass section but i doubt if they were well known as a beat group.They recorded the single as a showband in 64 and the track was also recorded by a well known showband a few years later. :-X :-X :-X

I'll give the Greenbeats a try :-[

Sorry  ;D ;D ;D

I'll wipe that big stupid grin off your face ???, If there's enough time and space :-[

Now now this is all supposed to be healthy fun.I told you the gloves were off so no more Mr Nice Guy. If you want to throw in the towel i will take you out of your misery ??? ??? ???

It's not fun and who said I'm healthy? ??? I'll hang on to the towel for a short while more ;D

Well i am off to the office to watch the racing and some of the golf and lower a few pints while i am there.Its a hard life but someone got to do it and i'm a divil for punishment. :-* :-*

It has to be the Magill Five Showband who I think were from Clondalkin. There lead singer went on to join The Hillsiders from Manchester. I think he dyed a few coupla years ago.

Excuse me who was in the pub while i was away apart from myself heavens forbids you are so way off the mark its is unreal.I will wrap this all up in 24 hours because you just have to accept i am good at what i can do when i put my mind down to it. ::) ::) ::)

Hi TP....What about the Dominoes?  :P

TP...Have you got this question out of a book or do you have the record?

I'll try The Gentry who changed their name to Nobility :(

No right answer so far and no i did not get it out of a book.Danced to these guys in the early 60s before then went off and became a showband.I know of the single and it comes with a PS to boot alas it rarely comes up for sale.Last time on ebay i bid £25 but did not even get a sniff at that price.Seems the Star Club label is very collectable for obvious reasons.I would only use a book if its a reputable source so that would rule out Larrys book of Irish Hits and Spotlights in my opinion.Most of the time i will try and have the actual record in front of me but this is not possible all of the time. :-X :-X :-X

So TP, you're saying that you've made up this question from 'memory'? I've found out (through research) that very few Irish bands toured Germany back then....let alone released a record on the Starclub label! Rory & Van Morrison, although in showbands back then, had something different to offer the public - the potential of being briiliant 'Rock' artists was just bubbling under the surface.
So, your mystery band were a group when all this happened? This is confusing me. I asked earliar if they were a group or band. First they're a band & now, according to your last message, they're a group. Make up your mind TP...please!! 8)

Ah but TP, youhad a slight edge on the rest of us in that you knew who and what you were looking for 8)

Well said Liamo!
TP...did I offend you in another life? This is, and I quote: 'Supposed to be healthy fun', (see your comment to Liamo). Chill out ..TP 8). Delighted to see that you found your song!  ;D

The answer is The Crickets Showband.I went on ebay and went into the German site and just keyed in Star Club Singles and lo and behold there is was on vol 3 with both tracks from the single Monkey Time / You're No Good it could not have been easier.The band were from Finglas remember The Drake Inn in the good old days.The track Monkey Time was also recorded by The Capitol Showband. ::) ::) ::)

Ah! well...I wasn't old enough to go into pubs back then... :P
