Fivepenny Piece were from Lancashire and became more well known after appearing as the musical guest on BBC's 'That's Life' in 1975. This rare video clip is a 1974 appearance on ITV's 'Wheeltappers and Shunters Club' show.

For more information about this much missed group, please visit the excellent official website run by Margaret Meeks, wife of Fivepenny Piece member John Meeks.

NEWS UPDATE - November 12th 2007

There is now a new song by Linda and John Meeks of the Fivepenny Piece on YouTube. Written some 25 years back by fellow 5PP member Colin Radcliffe, but only recorded in September 2007, it is a Christmas song called 'A Special Child'. Take a listen - it's kinda good.

  • If there is any chance of anybody having any more live videos could you please e-mail me

    thanks

  • I would dearly love to post more videos of Fivepenny Piece. I have been told that I may be getting the chance to upload some more video clips of this *excellent* group in the next month or so. Can say no more for now, but it should be good news for us 5pp fans.

  • I can strongly recommend Lynda and John's new cds available through their 5pp website. What songs! What a beautiful voice Lynda has. That the group never became superstars is testament to the fact there is no justice in the world. They say another CD is out soon with more songs old and new so bring it on! One of my favourite Meeks / Radcliffe compositions is Butterflies & Songbirds. Anyone have a live version of that to post?

  • fivepenny piece were supremely evocative - their songs of life 'up north' were timeless and beautiful, and intricately crafted. what memories!

see all
