Great quality, Jeremy, and the only time I have seen The John Barry Seven on Oh Boy!, even if it was a rehearsal. One of the JB7 says it's the only "live" performance featuring himself he has ever seen!
I was 11 years old, and watching Oh Boy kicked off my ambition to get into TV and become a Director. This is a fantastic piece of archive.....and rare treat to see the John Barry Seven, and Stan Dallas of the Dallas Boys who I worked with many times, several decades later, in his agent days at International Artistes. You can still feel the energy coming out of the screen even on an 8mm compilation. Great stuff Jeremy.
Great film Jez, huge thanks for posting it, you have NO idea how envious I am of you working on such a show, such great times for music and Britain as a whole.... Great to see Marty and Vince singing together - such talented men, still performing live well into their 70s, and two REALLY NICE guys in spite of their (deserved) fame.
The Five Dallas Boys Leicester lads who sang all 5 harmonies on their Rockin’ Doowop and Pop recordings on Columbia records 57-61 they were good at doo wop and so were Neville Taylor and The Cutters from London whom were on this show but there is only a clip of one of them playing guitar here behind Cuddly Dudley . The Cutters released a great doowop cover of The Bell Notes “I’ve Had it”backed with a real good doowop gem “Rockaroo” on Decca records in 1959 . I own all Dallas Boys and Cutters records. Prior to the Decca release Neville Taylor recorded solo for Parlophone in 58 and 59 he also recorded under the alias ‘Hal Munro’ on the Marks n’ Sparks Embassy budget label in 1958 and Oriole in 1960 throughout his early recording career he and the Cutters sang another doowop tune together on an Embassy Rock n’ Roll E.P. called “Coffee Break” In 1958 as The Rock n’ Rollers aswell, other than that there is what they recorded on the Jack Goods ‘Oh Boy’ LP cracking versions of “Little Miss Ruby” and Good Good . Check these 2 Brit 50’s vocal groups out they were actually really “Good Good” 👍🏼
Can you recall if this was all from one episode or maybe from multiple? I've looked into it and Vince Eager only appeared on two episodes of Oh Boy! (that I can find details of) and only one that featured Cliff Richard. So that would make it the 07/03/1959 episode. The only thing is that Tommy Steele isn't mentioned in the TV listings for that episode (or any other Oh Boy! - maybe they just didn't mention him?) This is from TV Brain: 07.03.1959 J / Live With Tony Hall (Compere), Marion Ryan, Cliff Richard and The Drifters, Marty Wilde, The Dallas Boys, Cherry Wainer, Vince Eager, Mike Preston, Red Price, Lord Rockingham's XI, Neville Taylor and The Cutters. Have you offered a copy of the footage to a TV archivist (eg Kaleidescope) as this is some important stuff from a series of which next to nothing exists any more? I can put you in touch with someone if necessary.
@@JeremyHoare Maybe the TV listings people didn't think Tommy Steele was worth mentioning then. Poor Tommy lol.😐 I think everyone else on your footage matches up with that episode though.
The 'Blind Saxophone player'! Benny Green hated this gig so much he wore shades to disguise himself - and in came fan mail for the blind saxophone player!
+Chris Hughes When Benny did his Sunday afternoon radio 2 show he used to mention his time on this show with undisguised bile and venom.I religiously listened to his show ,every week as he was marvellous although when i mentioned his name to a friend of mine he retorted,"Now there`s a sour man".I suppose Benny was, as he saw the changes in music and did not like them.I see you are a sax player .I try and play jazz guitar myself and struggle with its complexities.I still think this show and the music was great Benny did not like the fact that Jack Good told them to detune ,or play their instruments slightly out of tune ,to make it more R n R .!!!Nuff said !!!!!
+djangorheinhardt I used to go out and drive just so I could listen to Benny without interruption from telephones and the like. And as a one-time sax player who had to learn how to play in tune - I would have felt much the same as he did.
+Chris Hughes Yes i would have felt demeaned like Benny myself.Jack Good was a genius in his own way and at least got pop music shows out there for the "kids"But his edict of playing out of tune for R n R was so disrespecting and wrong .Much of Rock,n Roll was in fact played by superb musicians who were session men ,like Benny and Red Price who would have made the music sound even better.But Jack Good,an Oxford graduate probably thought that RnR needed that tinkering with the tuning. Do you still play sax???
+djangorheinhardt Afraid not - the teeth went bad on me back in the 80s and that put the kibosh on it! Ronnie Scott was heading the same way, I believe... I think I might have been on Red Price's very last session... it was a Georgie Fame session at EMI, and Red had had enough, and was out of control - "I played with Heath at Carnegie Hall! All anybody wants me to play is Rock and Roll!*, and he proceeded to make silly noises instead of playing a solo. Embarrassing - but I understood where he was coming from. Poor old Red.
+Chris Hughes Just had another look and recognised Bernie Taylor on guitar. Poor Bernie actually died on-stage, at the Talk of the Town - I wondered why the band weren't playing as I arrived... nobody knew where he had parked his car, either.
according to a great website dedicated to oh boy, this footage is from nov 58 and was tommy steeles only appearance on the show community.fortunecity.ws/greenfield/wolf/31/id47.htm
This was the GREATEST TV Rock n Roll series EVER!! I was 19 yo at the beginning of the series[1958]. I was 20 in the August, and then in September Cliff came on the screen with MOVE IT...WOW!! Jack Goode, the producer, went to the US to show them how a Rock n Roll show should be set up...Fantastic days. Nowadays, the music scene is mediocre. The so called "judges" on TV shows...are mediocre performers themselves, and THEY judge the contestants...OMG!! MEDIOCRITY RULES!!
@@WOODBINEXX I think only copies of the 16mm telerecordings were sent to the US. Studio Canal has only two shows, the others were purloined from ABC's film library in the 1960s.
Buzzer365 Yep, love the sound of the Hammond. Nice to see Cherry chatting and playing the organ on a tv RnR doc just last year, just a few months before she passed away in November 2014.
I was born in 1948. We all thought that 6.5 Special was the greatest thing ever on Television. Then came Oh Boy!
One wonders why we don't have anything like this today...but of course we don't have the music to make such an event still.
Lack of imagination and TV cake in too many slices. When this was made there were 2 channels, now hundreds.
Way ahead of anything in America at the time.
Jack Goode went to the US to set up their R&R shows...How it should be...
@@johnstill1451 Shindig.
That 8mm looks better than what is left of the broadcast versions.
Thanks!
Blimey Cliff 81, Marty 83 and Tommy Steele 85 all still alive thankfully
Cliff and I are the same age.

Did I catch a glimpse of the late Cherry Wainer? Thank you for uploading this. Brought back many memories.
Never missed an episode or The 65 Special and always remember the Vernon's Girls on those very skimpy shorts
I was a few years younger than them but it was wonderful to be with such beauties!
Sounds as though this taken from the lP Oh Boy. I still have it.
very very very NICE!!! :-)
another great rock and roll tv show which I never missed

It was interesting to see Don Lang here - he was a stalwart of the 'competition': 6.5 Special!
and his frantic 5 lol
Absolutely..marvellous

It would be great to try and synch this up with sound from the shows - I bet it could be done
This is sensational footage. I wonder if Marty Wilde and Vince Eager are singing "Bird Dog" at 2:27?
Marty and I recorded "Bird Dog" again in 2012 on my album, "788 Years of Rock 'n' Roll" on Western Star records.

did you film the very first show which featured Cliff Richard singing Move It with The Drifters.
A forerunner of Tonight with Jools Holland
shake it up !
ultra rare footage u got as only 2 shows remain, rest erased/lost :-(

Four are known to exist; details on the Oh Boy! website.
