    THE GREATEST BAND IN THE WORLD! The banjo player (Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell) was my art teacher at school and I watched him MAKE that Banjo during our art lessons! - HELLO SIR!!!

    Bonzo is such an awesome group of guys! To be friends with people like the Beatles and get onto Magical Mystery Tour says something about their magnitude. But more than that, they know how to have fun with their art, and then connect it to their fans.

    The best New Years Eve ever was sometime in the 70's (its all a bit hazy) at a nightclub in Beckenham Kent, it may have been called the Mistral club but it changed its name several times from Beckenham Ballroom, Mistral, Tites and Lautrecs to name a few. The Bonzos were on fine form and a great time was had by all.

    Seems like they should have limited it to just 6-7 guys, and worked hard to have Slater, Speer, Innes, and Legs Larry be there. Then add a worthwhile singer and bass player, and maybe a keyboardist/guitarist. That could have kept it in context of their great years, instead of this huge circus outfit.

    Sorry but this performance lacks the finesse of the original band.
    And right from the start, "Jollity Farm" done in the style of the Wurzels. I miss Viv Stanshall's cut-glass delivery.
    It's pretty crap, actually. And I speak as a regular at Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band gigs at the Half Moon, Putney, some years ago.
    Glad to see Sam Spoons is still the most handsome of all of you.
