The Barron Knights - The Chapel Lead Is Missing

[MrVinylmaster]

On this recording one can hear just how good Duke their lead singers voice was, Sadly Duke is now longer with us' but with songs such this one' Duke will be with us forever.

Keep On Rockin

Amazing, how did they know that in 2011 lead theft from churches was going to go literally through the roof

[FlankerTanker]

I've spend yonk looking for this version - classic - takes me back t0 my youth :-)

[jillylynch]

Hi antonygoforth....They do still tour, I saw them last night at The Stables in Milton Keynes....They were great, only 4 of them now but still as funny. They continually work and tour round the country. Go on their web site, just google "the barron knights" and you'll get all the info.

[antonygoforth]

Fab music fab group shame they don't tour now !!! I'd see them in a heartbeat

[bornagainfolker]

Why aren't there songs like this these days? We all need a bit of humour to brighten our lives. I loved this song in my teens and am so glad that you've posted it. "THANK YOU!!!"

[hilton11000]

[dunebasher1971]

@simjem - for "There's a dentist in Birmingham", search for A Taste of Aggro. It's a "live" performance of it from Top Of The Pops.

[Kamorth]

Takes me back to sitting on Dad's knee listening to the old vinyls...

I think my fave album was the California Girls one... Don't think that's what it was called though..

I still can't sing the real words to Space Oddity

[simjem]

@Kamorth lol, space oddity was class. major Tom......

[Kamorth]

@simjem See I still end up singing "Birth Control to Ginger Tom"....

[starwin2000]

What ever happened to the Barron Knights.....This takes me way way way back

[jillycormier]

The Barron Knights are still on the go... playing at The Memorial Hall in Cleethorpes on Monday 17th August. I'm hoping to go if I'm not working.

[dpattre]

They are still performing,just google them,I was lucky I got a 40th birthday card from them

[stevepjk]

[hay7r]

Thank you, thank you, thank you

[ukwanderer]

Simply fantastic. What a great find.

[bowmanpete]

What is the original song ?

[organman2dave]

I believe that this was originally the 'Jimmy brown song...

[lindyinthe60s]

I remember hearing the original song as a child and believe it's called "The Three Bells".

[indah007]

The original french version was Les Trois Cloches sung by Edith Piaf and Les Companions des Chanson. Later covered by Ed Brown and the Browns

[themisspultone]

This is still my fave Barron Knights of all.
