I have just converted those above to MP3

As they are still going strong still after 47 years I'd possibly breach a copyright or 2 if I posted them , but at 2MB each they could be emailed

http://www.barronknights.com/history2.html

They still do about 6 tour dates per month according to their website and spend Jan - March working in Australia

It's funny if you're from around here though

Probably shouldn't admit it on here, but I have one of their albums with that on from when I was a kid

long ago, outside a chip shop in walthemstow
lived a young rocker called greasy joe
who got on his bike and said "lets go"
he was keen, off up the high st like barry sheene
where he met ann on her new machine

chorus:
running away togethor, running away in leather
ann and joe
running away togethor, running away in leather
ann and joe

they past the bloody tower, at 100 miles an hour
they was so amazed that tower bridge was raised
they raced up to the top, to find they could not stop
thery leapt right off the end and landed in the thames
hand in hand

all done to ABBA's ....Angelo

fook me, how sad that i even remember all the lyrics

I thought the Barron Knights came from Leighton Buzzard.... they always played local to me when I was a kid growing up in Berkhamsted.

Thought so....

http://www.barronknights.com/

It was way back in 1960 when 6 guys got together in Leighton Buzzard Bedfordshire to form a pop group based on vocal harmony. They called themselves the Knights of the Round Table but quickly realized it was too many words to put on a poster so for no other reason at all decided on changing the name to The Barron Knights. They spent two years travelling up and down the country singing in dance halls. Transportation was a 27-seater coach, which served as their hotel. 20 seats were removed and 7 beds were installed. Each night they made just enough money to pay for the fuel to the next gig and a trip to the chippie.
