Ok get a load of this we all know that the BCR Bay City Rollers were written and produced by Coulter N Martin but not quiet true a member of a well known showband produced their second  single who was he and name the 45
. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8

TP...Without getting too technical, may I ask: Are you referring to the BCR's second hit single or the second single that didn't get anywhere? All of their 'hit' singles were produced by either: Phil Coulter & Bill Martin, Colin Fretcher, Harry Maslin, Phil Wainman or Muff Winwood (of Spencer Davis, Traffic etc. fame).  8)

Well now Trisha this is what happens when you set a question from memory.Change the word produced and replace it with the word arranged.The record in question was their second hit Remember from 74.So what showband member arranged that hit. :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Well now TP, according to my album 'Rollin', the song 'Remember' was arranged by Phil Coulter... 8)

I have the single so i dug it out and the arrangers name is there in big letters for all to see and it is not Phil Coulter. ;) ;) ;)

The answer i was looking for was John Drummond he of The Capitol Showband.Not to worry Trisha i will send you a scan of the single and you can see for youself that it was not Phil Coulter. :( :( :(

FYI foks - after the Capitol, he moved to London. John arranged AND produced a lot of the Coulter/Martin work (without credit) and was involved with many of the Mickie Most/Coulter projects. The B side of the (Tony) KENNY single "Heart Of Stone" was a demo that John had recorded; it was his own song, he played most of the instruments and sang it  - and the snare was a briefcase!
When he abandoned London for the charms of Mohill in Leitrim, he did a lot of production work for EMI - Cahir O'Doherty, Jamie Stone, among others, and he got a lot of session and theatre work as a bass player.  He was (sorry - is!) a brilliant bass player and singer. And a gentleman.

Hello there whistle thats a nice piece of info on John and nice to hear he has settled in Mohill where my dad was from. A small world indeed.

While on the subject of John Drummond his single with The Capitols ( thats how it appears on the record label ) called Monkey Time the old Curtis Mayfield song from 1968 is much sought after by those Northern Soul collectors.The same song was recorded by The Crickets Showband and released on the Star Club label only in Germany back in 1965. :o :o :o
