Is "Temperacne" spots that you break out in when you get in a bad mood?

Saw the Bonzos 2 or 3 times in the 60s. Very good indeed. Noticed that Death Cab for Cutie has been picked up as a for a modern band. Is nothing sacred?

[bluechimes]

No

Its when Temperance members stray from the path

In 1969 they released their fourth album Keynsham and appeared at the Isle of Wight Festival. Keynsham is a small town near Bristol in south-west England. According to Neil Innes' account, the of the album derived from an oft-repeated advertisement played on Radio Luxembourg in the 1950s and early 1960s, which promoted a method of forecasting results for football matches (and using these results in football pools). In the advertisement, which was of great length, Horace Batchelor, inventor of 'the amazing Infra Draw method', would spell his postal address of K-E-Y-N-S-H-A-M for those listeners who wished to purchase his secret.[11] Batchelor had earlier been-checked (alongside "Zebra Kid") performing on percussion in "The Intro and the Outro".


I remember that advert and Horace Batchelor so well. Luckily my old man enlightened me as to its merits in the grand scheme of things.

Vague memories of the Radio Luxumbourg stuff.

Transitor Radio under the bedclothes late night listening to Pop music hoping my father wouldn't burst in a complain about "That dreadful racket"
Not to mention the Boy sleeping with me

Then along came the Pirate Radio Stations

I never saw the BDDDB except on TOTP .

I know Stanshall died a few years ago as did Legs Larry Smith but think all the others are still around.
