That was cool Daryl. Thanks for posting it. I am very glad that whole research biologist, germ-y thing didn't work out for him. :side:

I wonder how old he was back then? 13? 14? Pretty young.

Great clip Daryl! I think Huw Weldon was the presenter on that clip and OMG what a patronising attitude 1950's BBC had towards teenagers. Did I see him patting the band on the head or just their backs! In the Pink Floyd clip that was posted last week, the presenter basically told the band off for playing so laud and went on about how it wasn't his cup of tea as he was brought up on the classical flute or something! Priceless document of the prevailing "establishment" view of the day.

I'm still wondering what the heck 'Skiffle' is.

Chris,
The host is exhibiting the usual Anglish sense of humor where only he has anything worth saying. Another reason I love Monty Python so much.

I totally agree. The clip is fascinating but the interviewing style is quite painfull to watch.

Skiffle is what Brits call rockabilly.
