And the band played on

And the band played on

This is Lon, Ball and Porge who were three of the original squirrel members of the famous group The Animals. Eric Burden thought they were too hairy on stage so he sacked them and they then joined a small group called the The Beatles along with the forth member of the band called Bingo. Although their names suited the band they sadly left shortly after because they didn’t think they would do any good in the world of pop music.

So now 40 years on (and don’t they look great for their age) they are back and their group is now called; The Hairy Fur Balls Bingo decided to work in the world of TV as a narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine series and did quite well from it.

I found the three of them rehearsing a little number called Nutbush City Limits by Ike & Tina Turner within the grounds of the Forty Hall Estate which is in Enfield, England.
