When the Temperance Severn appeared at the Savoy Hotel, at the height of their fame, in the 1960's. Paul McDowell said: Ladies and Gentlemen it is wonderful to be back here after an absence of 40 years. And it was true. They had a wonderful success with recreating dance orchestra music from the 1920's and, most remarkably, appealing to a young audience who had never heard this stuff before. "Your Driving Me Crazy" was their first, sentational, No 1 hit record.
Chrich is great but I think
I remember this once being used in an episode of Heartbeat. The scene was a montage of Vernon driving his taxi and getting a series of 'problem' passengers. Didn't know what the track was called for ages but glad I finally do.
Temperance seven and the Bonzo dog doo da band made a fascinating and refreshing change from rock during the sixties. I still remember all of their hits. Good times.
The trams are in the National Tram museum Crich, Derbyshire. I have spent a number of very happy days there. The fare is 1d for as many rides as you like.
They give you the 1d !!!
This is nice music. I never heard of them, until Brian May mentioned them in a show about Queen's classic album A night at the Opera. See what you can learn from rock stars.
