Notes

Soundboard (horrible)


This was the "alternative" Albion Band which toured whilst the John Tams mob were being an embryo Home Service in a show called Dispatches at the National Theatre, perhaps the only one of this line up besides the footage on the Albion Band documentary screened on BBC2. Three fifths of the original Morris On Band from 1972 were in this line up.
