    Nice to se any group from that era NOT lip-syncing but actually singing/performing their song, live onstage. Very nice, never seen them before, liked it a lot!

      Yes it does, but there were similar sounds...i said they signed to do more but thats the way it worked then..a business after all..yes they looked the pasrt..but..most decent bands of the 60`s plus could..i`m told the honeycombs never played live..a mate bought a guitar from one who admitted..they were often for show.. i followed bands and met some in the news but meerting twol from kemny as they knew friends..i askede what key the hit..they avoided the question..they hsd to look right..yes..some played..i was semi pro weekend for 35 years untill bass man died and i wass ill..we had fun..did a good job but were popular..mainly for love.as bands broke and slit to duo/solo clubs slasherd fees..but we hasd our time..

    We all knew the "clapometer " was fixed and the winner was known two weeks in advance due to production schedule.As Chubby Brown said "I could have won but I wouldn't sleep with Hughie Green" !!!

      @MrKeeft1 2 года назад +1

      HA..Yes, i hinted as such earlier but there were other such shows...hughie wass known for his own `act`..theres an audio of him openming a womans clothes shop..all these beautiful women`...yuk...but a local reporter tried to interview, he got abusive..showed his true character.. but he helped a few..

    • @BonzoBall0
      @BonzoBall0 Год назад

      @@MrKeeft1 Not sure the clapometer was fixed, but it was certainly "variable". It was just run by 3 mics randomly hanging over the audience, and so it depended on who was nearest the mics. We were the first people to get 100, and I'm convinced it was because my girlfriend at the time was near a mic, and she just went MENTAL with screaming and clapping ! Hughie was just into Hughie !!!
