I've seen that clip
a few times. If his "singing" isn't bad enough the first time the backing singers come in really nails it.
No wonder Pebble Mill was axed.
I don't remember him
Was someone from Jim Henson's creature workshop working him from underneath?
If you don't remember him
it simply means you're one of the lucky ones.
Be grateful.

Li-i-i-ips and hi-i-i-ps followed by baby ,bahey is genius.
And drummer
Fellow "Vocalist" is ex Flintlock and Tomorrow person Mike Holoway,proving that no talent lasts for ever.
Mike in his heyday
He Can Really Drum...
I hadn't realised he could really drum. In fact, that's quite a groove they cook up. My sister was a Flintlock fan - in my head I had them lumped in with Child and Fanny as sub-Bay City Roller, sub-Glam sub-Pop. But this clip - albeit a very short one - shows them in another light.
And I hadn't realised Mike Holoway was the backing singer for Paul Shane's infamous appearance on Pebble Mill. How did he end up doing that - do some people love the camera so much they can't stop themselves? Or maybe it was an obligation he couldn't refuse.
It isn't even 9 O'Clock on Bank Holiday Monday: if these groovier-drummer-than-I-remember-lets-himself-down-on-Brummie-chatshow revelations continue at this pace, I'm going to need something stronger to drink than just tea.
Maybe
But he can't/Couldn't act for s***. He messes up his big line and is so wooden he went on to play a set of goalposts in Grange Hill.
For Mike's oak like acting try to find the Episode of Minder he's in where he plays a has-been Rock star.A role he was born to play.
it's painful.
Flintlock hold a dubious honour of being the only band to appear on TOTP and then their sales actually going down.
See how long you can last
p.s I wrote an article for a blog slating him big time.Hence the excessive knowledge of the man. He's written a musical. Check MYspace
I feel
you must be destined to write the definitive biography of Phil Collins.
:)
2 minutes and 14 seconds.
Is that a record?
Pebble Mill had all the stars
My god
that is beyond surreal.
By eck as like Moz, do you remember when Lionel Richie was fuzzy and dressed like Coco The Clown?
Flintlock and two smoking barrels
I have nothing in particular against the Holoway, but what got me was the way Flintlock was virtually adopted as Thames Television's house band.
Resident group on the kids' sketch show You Must Be Joking (and its spin-off Pauline's Quirks); shoehorned into The Tomorrow People, as Paul's outlined; several series of Fanfare, a music education series...all this airtime and STILL they couldn't get arrested in the charts.
Nail and head interface
Exactly my point John- They even sang the "You Must be joking " theme tune and you could order "Hot From The Lock" from Thames TV as you were informed at the end of every show and still they couldn't sell crack to Kate Moss(allegedly).It's a metaphor
Didn't know about Fanfare though.
morrissey reviews videos he hasn't seen
wtf
