Little Johnny England

Hi Simon

I believe that you have a direct link with the song or the dance "Little Johnny England".  Would you care to share it with us?

Cheers

The direct link with Little Johnny England (the song/dance) is that it was a playground game that my mother played at school. She taught it to me and from that i decided to call the band Little Johnny England.
Yes, shock horror, revelation. Simon Care was a founding member of Little Johnny England.

The original line-up that did two or three gigs was:

Simon Care - box
Gareth Turner - Box
Ed Frost - Drums
Fred Davies - (of Clippers fame) - Guitar
and Nick Quarmby (Colvin/Quarmby) on bass.

Now they don't tell you that on their website do they!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, that's interesting.  I always thought I went to their very first gig at Banbury, supporting the PBB, with Tom Leary on fiddle.  I didn't realise that was the second version of the band.

oh no no no.

LJE did at least three gigs before Tom Leary and others

I can't remember where the first LJE gig I went to was, a good while ago but not the original line-up, but I definately remember Gareth giving credit to Simon, because that was when I made the link to EII and a lot of bits fell into place...
Wish they were coming out to our direction again.

I think they'll be gigging again before too long....
