It has always been said that Child Working Laws etc put paid to these Lads singing career.
A bit strange this because there were a few other British Child atistes around at the time as well, who carried on.
I have always suspected that maybe some people were afraid that Our Kid might just encroach into and pose a threat to the Jacksons/Osmonds monopoly of this type of act at the time, and pulled a few strings.
Just a thought..Apologies if I you think I am wrong
The problem was that - unlike Lena Zavaroni - Our Kid's audience was mainly in the working mens club circuit. The hours were late (later than a theatre gig for example) and sharing the bill with others meant that they could not be guaranteed their slot. With adults it makes no difference if they go on at 8 or 11 but with underage performers, that would be illegal. So there was no Transatlantic Big Music Company Conspiracy, just the realities of Saturday nights at Barnsley CIU
agree with other comments - Steve Wright....idiot...whoever listened to his views anyway - he was a bit of a joke. Our Kid....what a shame nobody took them further....vocally fantastic & this was SO popular back in the day....i loved it them....and over 30yrs on...still love it - well done boys...even though you are grown men nowadays!! you did really good & you were loved!! take it from me!
Dated plinky plonky, twee shite. If it's good it will always be timeless. This just isn't. How the fuck did I end up here. I was listenting to Pink Floyd.....
Oh my God!! I saw these several times in Liverpool! I was besotted with Brian (Dark haried one, second in from the left) I actaully got to meet him and he grabbed my ass....I went to pieces. Mind you, I was only 10...lol....it was like Beatles mania in Liverpool with Our Kid...but like I said, I was only 10. Great memories....and for the saddos who are calling them mongs....like to see you do better....morons!
They had to at least pretend some 'pool kids went to school but efforts were rewarded: those hand dances could only have come from the playground. Start standard shuffle, Heil Hitler at 1.25 leading into faux-thumbsnaps at 1.33, followed by gayboy/Flid Flap combo; 2.00 begins a splendid example of a copied-from-blacks-on-TOTP walkabout-wiggle,segueing nicely to a wobble-mike jigajig at 2.15.
You could only learn this stuff in the school canteen queue.
Yes, Steve Wright was a pr**k for his unfortunate comments. After all, as Will55768 says, ''they were kids''. When you hear JLS and the likes, I don't think there's much difference when given the the different time era's..Maybe I'm just biased because that was my era and this song brings back good memories etc.
i think that you need to have been there when this song was in the charts - young going through puberty first love ect - i think that steve needs to look back and remember what he was doing when this was a hit
Agree re Steve Wright - unfortunately it's 'trendy' to deride, easy to look at stuff 30 years ago and mock, no doubt some prick will be doing it to this generation in another 30 years.
never heard of these. our kid, sounds northern. love scrolling through all this 70s stuff. its so bad its almost good. was glitter on the same programme, hope not, ha ha ha. the fat old twat would think it was xmas.
hey leave them alone they were british version of the osmonds . great on them the osmonds made it to the top why shouldnt the british youngsters not do the same. wtg our kid .what with jimmy with ill be your long haired lover from liverpool. hey thats a place in england aint it . couldnt he find anywhere in america to name this tune lol
Forget the Beatles, the real spirit of Liverpool is embodied in Our Kid. The little fat one could sing in tune and at times their cool stage moves are very nearly co-ordinated. Even their clothes had a huge influence on Liverpool fashions which can still be seen around the city today.
randyfathumb your out of time a thousand pop songs are similar this song is not similar enough for a comparison. Who the fcuk is steve wright no mark never heard of him.Good song the competition was a lot stronger in 76 compared to now
this is fucking great.the tune is out of time by the stones(made famous by some other bloke ) ,even the string motiff is the same.when you start with nothing and come up a song like this thats amore~.
Not a bad song actually , at least there all in perfect tune, thank god there not on the x factor poor old louie would have a bit of a stiffy and cheryl would have damp pants, i wonder where they are now
i love you my angel john... you are so cute in this video.. i wished i was born in your time..you have a fantastic voice like the others.... i hope i can see your group in person .. soon i hope.. please come soon baby..sing me a love song .. coz i really love to hear it from you
i love you so much baby ,, i am so happy to have you in my life,, i am very proud of you,, i am so overwhelmed with joy,, i love you MR.UK MAN... soon you will see me in church.. my angel,, you are my life ,,my everything...........
As some people on here might be the same age as me & my sister (50 & 52) we would like to ask if anyone remembers a group called FRENZY from Scotland (we think) in the mid to late 70's any help would be great Many Thanks Gail & Ann (Fae Scotland) xx

They are all good but the lead singer has a great voice -the last I heard he was living in Australia, our loss ! Heard this last night on an old TOTP programme and can't stop singing it. Someone should record it -it has HIT written all over it !
Our Kid later transformed themselves into a punk hardcore group called Flick Knife...their debut single was called 'Fried Foetus and Chips' The singer was arrested for biting the nose off his girlfriend during a speed and cocaine binge
@TomthatiscalledTom i remember seeing our kid on new faces and thinking now theres a group that are gonna cause mayhem,carnage in a rock`n`roll lifestyle of drug busts paternity suits and wrecked hotels
This is great, nice song, and smart kids too. Brings back memories! No need for any of Steve Wrights idiotic comments or insults-an opinionated nobody!

@WFIA08 Thinking of you at a difficult time. My dad passed away on 23rd December 1995, so you'll hopefully understand why I don't care much for Christmas. Life goes on, but loved ones can't be replaced.
Terrance (the one of the far left) is my brother. We used to live with eachother for years & went to the same school. Sometimes we'd just sit outside singing daft Suzi Quattro songs & drink a brew with some digestives about ten foot away from the shed. After the death of our nanas cat he started to withdraw into a seashell, like a seasnail. Sometimes we gazed at the full moon together. Then he started on the smack & got in a bad way. I got off the stuff but he kept going for it and got in a bad

@derbyrach1971 I was mates with Terrence Baccino (the one on the far end). We were in the same class together for years. I can't tell you the laugh we had in these days.I'd sit in his house and the phone would be goin' constantly and i'd answer it and give the fans abuse. Fan madness existed then. He withdrew into a kind of shell. He was already a great natural guitarist(after a meeting with Chris Speading 'Motor Bikin'" who was a session player, T started learning Classical guitar to read music
Is that the Steve Wright .........who turned out to be a 'propercuntwithnoideaaboutmusicandthesameoldtiredformatonradio2' , Did,nt he marry himself ?, just a thought.
@happychappy12 The 70's and 80's were brilliant- but there was one bad thing about them and that was Steve Wright. I' m sure he couldn't sing a note and he is well below average looking and he presumes to make sarcastic comments about people who do have some talent.
@LisaRoxan Dexy's Midnight Runners were/are/were/are a great band too. Pity there isn't enough British talent of their calibre anymore - most of it is just drab.
By the fucking way... I used to really like Steve Wright but he has developed a stuck-up fucking attitude lately. He derides simple 'pop' songs when he plays them like he's now a fucking superior being, bloody idiot.
to berthigginbottom. that really made me laugh bout the insect repellant. they were fucking shit this group ar they gay. mind you i wanted to shag jane, from rod jane and freddy. so i cant talk, ha ha.
11 seconds ago I needed some insect repellent for a great big fuck off wasps nest in the attic of our old house, I explained to the pest control company that I’d tried everything I could think of but nothing worked!
11 seconds ago I needed some insect repellent for a great big fuck off wasps nest in the attic of our old house, I explained to the pest control company that I’d tried everything I could think of but nothing worked!
@phillipr61 Oh yes, Steve Wright, a legend ( in his own mind ) never had a good word to say about anyone. He thinks he is so funny, yeah right. As for Our Kid, FANTASTIC. Enough said..........
@phillipr61 agreed, they are better then the shite seen on X factor nice tune as well, and Im no fan of kiddy bands. Steve Wright , Im sure, is more than happy to pick up his overpaid salary for comments like that, it begs the questions, do we need disc jockeys? and are we interested in there opinions anyway?
lol. Some of "Wrighty's" comments can be a lil cutting, I have to agree.
In my opinion, "You Just Might See Me Cry" by Our Kid was not a bad track at all. And, when one takes into account the fact that the members of the group were no more than 12 years of age at the time it was recorded, you have to say that it was pretty impressive. Hats off the the four young lads in the group, i say. (Obviously, I realise that those 'young lads' are now middle-aged men. )
One of the first records I wanted to buy, but never did! Even thought they look impossibly young to me now, this song had a certain something about it.
We should all applaud Our Kid for being the 1st Britsih Boy Band. Who paved the way for all the followers from a Fab city like Liverpool who produced the Beatles and The Tremeloes and to many more to mention. Guys if you read this be proud I have a copy of you just might see me cry I would not swap if for anything. Also back then in 76 if you had done concerts I would def have come to see you.
@andrea07314 I think that "Our Kid" deserve credit for reaching # 2 in the charts with "You Just Might See Me Cry". It was not a bad single at all - and when you take into account the fact that they were only 11/12 years of age when it was recorded, you cannot fail to be impressed. That said, i would dispute ur claim that Our KId were the 1st British Boy Band. The Bay City Rollers (who had their first Top 10 single in October 1971) were surely a Boy Band - as indeed were Kenny and Slik.
The lead singer is Kevin Reynolds and they all hail from Walton in Liverpool, how do I know? Because I used to live on the same road as Kevin. He was only 11 year old when he and the lads did this and won opportunity knocks with it. So yeh he did have the balls to get up and sing for his supper.
sorry but the lead singer is kevin Rowan and he lived off scottie rd , another lad loff netherfield road everton , one was from walton and the other seaforth , how do i know because i was a mad fan
I've got to agree with eurolady, snide comments are two a penny, if you're going to say something wrighty make it worth listening to, as for midindianajonesmakemineaholicicantbelieveitsnotbutter, try getting out once in a while and grab yourself a life.
Don`t be jealous of their achievement. I am sure if you had had the chance they had you would have done the same. I applaud them for having the balls to get up and give it a go.
I remember sitting on the bench at the bottom of Carnarvon road on Rice Lane with me mates just waiting for Terry Bacino to walk past with his guitar and we'd shout 'Hiya Terry' and he's say 'Hiya' and we'd swoon and all go 'ooooh, isnt he great' lol... good times! :)

Is that the Steve Wright .........who turned out to be a 'propercuntwithnoideaaboutmusicandthesameoldtiredformatonradio2' , Did,nt he marry himself ?, just a thought.
happychappy12 1 year ago
@happychappy12 The 70's and 80's were brilliant- but there was one bad thing about them and that was Steve Wright. I' m sure he couldn't sing a note and he is well below average looking and he presumes to make sarcastic comments about people who do have some talent.

By the fucking way... I used to really like Steve Wright but he has developed a stuck-up fucking attitude lately. He derides simple 'pop' songs when he plays them like he's now a fucking superior being, bloody idiot.
That's all.

11 seconds ago I needed some insect repellent for a great big fuck off wasps nest in the attic of our old house, I explained to the pest control company that I’d tried everything I could think of but nothing worked!

They sent me a CD of these little shits!

The house was wasp free in about 25 minutes!

@phillipr61 agreed, they are better then the shite seen on X factor nice tune as well, and Im no fan of kiddy bands. Steve Wright , Im sure, is more than happy to pick up his overpaid salary for comments like that, it begs the questions, do we need disc jockeys? and are we interested in there opinions anyway?
northstar1950 1 year ago
@phillipr61
lol. Some of "Wrighty's" comments can be a lil cutting, I have to agree.
In my opinion, "You Just Might See Me Cry" by Our Kid was not a bad track at all. And, when one takes into account the fact that the members of the group were no more than 12 years of age at the time it was recorded, you have to say that it was pretty impressive. Hats off the the four young lads in the group, i say. (Obviously, I realise that those 'young lads' are now middle-aged men. )

We should all applaud Our Kid for being the 1st Britsih Boy Band. Who paved the way for all the followers from a Fab city like Liverpool who produced the Beatles and The Tremeloes and to many more to mention. Guys if you read this be proud I have a copy of you just might see me cry I would not swap if for anything. Also back then in 76 if you had done concerts I would def have come to see you.

@andrea07314 I think that "Our Kid" deserve credit for reaching # 2 in the charts with "You Just Might See Me Cry". It was not a bad single at all - and when you take into account the fact that they were only 11/12 years of age when it was recorded, you cannot fail to be impressed. That said, i would dispute ur claim that Our KId were the 1st British Boy Band. The Bay City Rollers (who had their first Top 10 single in October 1971) were surely a Boy Band - as indeed were Kenny and Slik.

The lead singer is Kevin Reynolds and they all hail from Walton in Liverpool, how do I know? Because I used to live on the same road as Kevin. He was only 11 year old when he and the lads did this and won opportunity knocks with it. So yeh he did have the balls to get up and sing for his supper.
