@gumma71 Dont underestimate this man's ability....this was a diversion from his day job as an Orchestral arranger and conductor for all the big names from the Beatles to the Bee Gees, Art Garfunkel, Fleetwood Mac and the list goes on. He even commanded the Royal Philharmonic for Cliff form his 25th at the R.A.H (pardon the Pun)

Thanx for confirming that. I remember certain ex-members of The Clash quoting that as one of the reasons they wouldn't appear on TOTP.
As for Lieutenant Pigeon, Mouldy Old Dough must be the only no.1 featuring mother and son - that "chap with the flute" (Rob Woodward) recruited his mum Hilda as second pianist.

There was such a rule, but they only allowed one hour in the recording studio though, prior to the 'live' TV mime session. A very short time to reproduce the generally highly 'produced' sound of the average hit.
So a lot of 'tape switching' went on behind the scenes!
Most of the tracks aired sounded exactly like the original hit mix (which probably took several days or weeks to produce).
As if by magic!
(So the one's on the TV show may not be the ones on the sound recording).

Always wondered what happened to Lieutenant Pigeon. Where's the chap with the flute?

DLT an anagram of TWAT.

I remember this all too well! I read a subsequent article in the paper which confirmed that the RAH Band was actually one guy called Richard Hewson, and the guys you've just seen were a bunch of front men (who I think renamed themselves "Paris"). I do know that in those days there was a "rule" that all backing tracks used on the show had to be specially re-recorded for the show; I can only assume that this one must have been recorded by Paris rather than Mr Hewson.

There is no RAH band, RAH stands for Richard Anthony Hewson, its a one man band.
