A great drummer and still a looker. Interesting anecdote about Joe Meek -- every tale I've ever heard about him sounds like he was an absolute nightmare to work with, sound genius or no. Not surprising that he came to the end he did. I guess here in the States, our equivalent of Meek, Phil Spector, took a LOT longer to finally lose it and take a life. Thanks for posting this, and R.I.P. Mr. Meek.

Honey was such a fine drummer. Her 'Wipeout' on the Live In Tokyo album case in point! Remember seeing her in 64 on the telly when only a 4 year old little boy! My mum kept telling me Honey was winking at me! More innocent times!

Great to see a video of the group, and especially those Burns guitars which featured in so many line-ups, including the Shads. Joe really knew how to get the best sound out of them! (and the Honeycombs.)

Love this song! Props to Honey Lantree---I was in awe of her talent, as in those times, you just didn't see female drummers. I'm glad that has changed. She is still so beautiful!

Really? Presumably she married then.

I'd love to get some recollections first hand.

I am trying to write a biography of The Honeycombs for the web, and I have first hand stories from Martin Murray, as well as all the commonly known info.

I suppose it is ridiculous to hope that I could get in touch?

The site is thehoneycombs.info

@KrayzeeVideos Really? She's your nan? Seriously? Blimey! I saw The Honeycombs late last year, it was just such a shame that Honey weren't with 'em no more. She was so pretty during the Sixties, and from what I've just seen, she still don't look bad now. She also had such a lovely voice. One question, though: why ain't she with The Honeycombs no more? (Just out of curiosity!) :/

...I have to say - just recently stumbling upon Honey's work - she is a bad *ss drummer. Love her fills. I got lots of respect for her.

A member of the band that produced one of my pre-teenage most iconcs songs. Hope she's fit and well.

Please can someone point me in the right direction to get in touch with Honey Lantree - a mutual friend Ian Forbes will be celebrating his 65th Birthday and would love for Honey too come along - as he was talking about the days when they were younger and the friendship they had! My contact no is 07928 730604 or

 She's classy.
