Way back when...

It's come to my attention that there are some of you of a certain age that have absolutely no idea who I am. Well, for you under forties, I am a rock/pop singer who has had, although I say so myself, not an insignificant amount of success in the music scene. Most people will know me from the 1960's when I had a string of hits with my band 'The Dulcet Lads'. You've probably heard "Disengenious Daisy" and "Crank one out for me (Mary)" but we also had many, many more hits in parts of South-East Asia and french-speaking areas of Canada. It's been said that we were most popular in areas where english speakers were in the minority but you tell that to those citizens of Minsk who fell in love to 'Hold me tight, squeeze me right'; they knew what i was singing.
After 'The Dulcet Lads' came 'Danny and The Paliatives' who were just as successful in their own way, just not according to Arthur Dink at Parlophone Records who decided that we were, his words, "too shit". It is a chuffin' shame that people are so chuffin' short-sighted that they can't see when bands are trying to do something so steeped in irony that they actually ban it from going on sale or even being heard by anyone, including the band themselves. I stand by my own judgement that 'Strange Fruit Cider' was, if not a masterpiece, then a bloody good collection of noises. Arthur Dink! You ruined my life!

I'll gather myselves together and get back to you.
