Daddy Yum Yum had a Sunday night residency at the Alhambra in Brighton, played regularly at The Hope & Anchor, Dingwalls and other London venues and supported Ian Dury at The Hammersmith Odeon (as it was then) on Charles & Di's wedding night.

Unlike The Piranhas Daddy Yum Yum actually turned down a record deal with Pete Waterman and then went out with a whimper instead of a bang! God knows what we thought we were playing at the time but listening to it again I realise that we had invented Thrash Skiffle!

John Crampton is still playing see

Great to see those old photos up.

John and Rob were in Woody and the Splinters, as I think was Stuart and Ian at one time. Dave was in the Accents with Chris of Midnight and the Lemon Boys. Willi and Dave still play in The Curst Sons with Tim from the Red Guitars. Regards, Dave
