baron knights - who's this geezer, Father Christmas?

[Tigerlily2712]

Does anyone know if there is a modern CD with all the funny Christmas songs on the Barron Knights did? I've looked at Funny in the Head and they don't appear to be on there??

[antonygoforth]

I grew up listening to this and jesta giggle... Amazing !!

[madysydney]

a special hello to the drummer, dear silver fox. had a such good time in Sydney....quite 40years ago..:-((

[wpinklady]

i have the funny in the head CD & its so funny!!

[JBofBrisbane]

Where I come from this was called "Never Mind The Presents".

[coffindodgers]

One of the best christmas songs compilations EVER !! Absolutely brilliant

[LensFlairSMA]

The track 2Live in Trouble" is available on the Barron Knights 50th Anniversary CD. There are also two stop frame animation films on Youtube: "Mr Bronski meets Mr Evans" and "Gas Board Bill". Unfortunately Butch Baker has retired from the band but I believe he puts in an appearance now and again. But Pete Langford is still going strong with them and it's a treat to see them live.

Yes, 50 years!

[SkidKid1965]

woofer dogs the song ur lookin 4 is live in trouble & its on here :)

[magtontay]

I remember these guys, seen them at RAFLakenheath officers club UK in the 60s, Butch he was my favourite.

[aardwolf71]

Wasn't this called "Never mind the presents"?

[bingbling]

This brings back memories from my childhood, happy days!

From memory, these songs were on a cassette my dad used to play, also was a top 40 countdown the BK's did, something about the swindon cowboys club and a song that started -

"oh lord it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way,

i can't wait to look in the mirror, cos i get better looking each day"...

A long shot, but does anyone have any ideas of the album these were on & where i can get a copy?

[wooferdogs]

what was the song called that went like..long ago, down in a chip shop in walthamstow, gresy joe etc...i cant find it anywhere..any help?

[jackaspades]

I think it's the Barron Knights song Ann and Joe.

It is the mickey take of Brotherhood of Man's Angelo.

It begins, "Long ago, outside a chipshop in Walthamstow".

[dafix1972]

"Long ago, outside a chipshop in Walthamstow, was a young rocker called 'Greasy Joe ' he put on his skidlid and said 'lets go' he was keen off up the highstreet like Barry Sheen, doin his best to look very mean till he met Anne on her new machine... Running away together brumming away in leather Anne and Joe... They passed the bloody tower at a hundred miles an hour and they was so amazed the tower bridge was raised they went right off the end and landed in the thames Hand in hand.

[apache30]

it is anne & Joe

[brassoGB]

It was on "Live in Trouble" single, second song.

Single is on You Tube Somewhere ....

[brassoGB]

... Sorry, I'm referring to the "Anne and Joe" song ..

[brassoGB]

... Sorry, I'm referring to the "Anne and Joe" song ..

[Slapmachine]

@wooferdogs Im looking for it too, it's been stuck in my head for 25 years or so. "She was keen, went down the high street like Barry Sheen"

[mcfcandz]

@wooferdogs it was the ballad of anne and joe

[johnwint541]

@wooferdogs its called live in trouble

[Chilliman1975]

I remember my dad had a BK album & my favourite song was Hey Mr. Tambourine Man... it lasted about 11 seconds!

Brilliant! I don't suppose you have the whole album it came from? I had Jesta Giggle years ago, and can't find it for love nor money! Is there any chance you could send it to me (and any others you may have... if it's not to cheeky!!)
