Viv Stanshall and Neil Innes, from the defunct Bonzo Dog Band, together
with guitarist Andy Roberts, from the old Liverpool Scene, are to team up
with the Scaffold for a series of concerts.
At the home of Scaffolder Mike McGear in Liverpool, John Gorman
told the MM:
"We met Viv and Neil when we were doing 'PC Plod' at the Open
Space Theatre in London.
"We talked over the possibility of a merger for these concerts.
All of us are successful in our own right but it would be beneficial to us
all, if we pooled our ideas. I think we could break some new ground. We are
thinking |
of going up to the Edinburgh Festival together, if things work out.
"I think this unit is unmatched anywhere in the country. We
worked with the Bonzos at the Liverpool Philharmonic in 1969 and it went
down great. On Sunday night we played at a place called Corby and we went
down very well, so if the forces of humanity don't intervene and send us
off on a tour of East Africa, things should go quite well.
"The combination of Gorman, McGough and McGear, Stanshall, Innes,
and Roberts, could make for a more edible 'Longer Stronger Black
Pudding.'" |
