“Here’s one of my favourite groups doing a version of John Lennon’s cold Turkey. As far as I’m aware this was a one off performance. Shown on a programme called ‘The Happening’ that was on BSB before it was bought out by SKY. So pretty rare clip I’d imagine. Enjoy it!
(its come out blocky though – damn!)”
How fun to see this – I love John Lennon! Thanks for digging this up to share with us, David. I am trying to guess the vintage by Glenn’s hairstyle and jacket…but failing! Anyone? He doesn’t have his black fender yet, and I can’t tell who’s in the band.
According to the International Who’s Who in Popular Music 2002, Jools Holland presented The Happening on BSB in 1990. That sounds like the right kind of vintage. I’ll have to check all the Fan Club magazines as it’s bound to be in there.
It’s Gilson on drums and Keith on bass, but who’s the extra guitarist? Mark Flanagan?
