Best act to appear on Shang-a-Lang

I was sure that Pilot had been on Shang-a-Lang but imdb says not

wait, Mr Big should be on there as well, the imdb list is not comprehensive

bolan >>>>> slade / sparks > lynsey de paul > linda lewis > gary glitter > lt pigeon > alvin stardust

not all that fussed about anyone else though cliff had some good songs i guess

maybe this could also be a thread to talk about 70s teen magazines? I want to get more of these but they are expensive :(

oh danny thompson played with her at one stage, makes sense. not sure why i had a such a blindspot on some of her stuff, what a dummy

Assuming that was the Drifters in name only, Slade. (Was that show about as British as it got? Some of those names define the American/British split at the time: Showaddywaddy, Lieutenant Pigeon, Reubettes, Middle of the Road, etc.)

Whereas Robin Nedwell was a household name both sides of the pond.

Assuming that was the Drifters in name only

Johnny Moore plus some other guys - they had a big run of hits in the UK in the 70s.

^ Best bit of Alan Price? Sounds very indebted to the Who

My lingering 1978-1982 Olivia Newton-John crush makes this a seemingly obvious choice, but c'mon, Bay City Rollers.

Kind of into this Bay City Rollers offshoot:

not sure what the hell is going on in that guy's trousers though

This was Lynsey de Paul's appearance on the show, not really her best song tbh:

pretty good tune Katie Kissoon tune from the 80s:

Lieutenant Pigeon? In 1975?

What the hell song did they do?

Rockabilly Hot Pot?

Gordon Honeycombe was in a dream I had last night... I need help and fast.

it's a visitation!

One of Honeycombe's best-known books is the horror novel Neither the Sea Nor the Sand. Early in his career, Honeycombe wrote two horror novels, described by horror historian Stefan R Dziemianowicz as "atmospheric modern gothics whose rugged natural northern English settings resonate with their unsparing supernatural horrors." [2] The first and best-known of these works is Neither the Sea Nor the Sand, focusing on a woman whose dead lover returns to life. [2] [3] It was followed by Dragon Under the Hill, where a history professor in Northumberland finds himself re-enacting a tragedy that took place in the Viking era. [2] Dziemianowicz noted that since Honeycombe's books were published before the horror boom of the 1970s, they have been "greatly overlooked as a result".

one for the horribly named 70s albums thread:

Him And Us Dancers
Biography
Mini Bio (1)

Him And Us Dancers is an actor, known for Arrows (1976), Look Alive (1975) and Shang-a-Lang (1975).

Almost said Muriel Gray, but it was Muriel Young who was behind all these series showcasing one band or artist - Arrows was another one.

bolan had his own show too right?

Yes, also there was a Northern Irish band who had their own series... not the Starjets... or maybe it was?

I don't know about them, but certainly The Arrows, who had one hit at that time. And had one more, I believe. (xposts)
