[@ValeDoFerro]

The Pyramids kicked Lonnie's arse into a gear he hadn't been in for years - and he loved it!

[@Oooo-bi7bi]

My dad was a drummer in a skiffle band that played working mens,Irish clubs in Manchester . He’s in his early seventies now. I’ll send him this , he’ll love it. Cheers. For taking the time to put these videos on KZbin.

SPLENDID - love this band - love Lonnie - REAL MUSICIANS - typical Lon, haha - musicians banter, plenty of that kind of banter in my own bands down the years... i have an interview with Lon saying that he walked into the studio thinking "I'll show them" but he stepped back with surprise at how good they where. Lovely to watch

[@nevillecachia6858]

Lonnie still op top of his game RIP Lonnie 3rd Nov 2002 and James creighton who passed away 17th February 2021 they certainly did Rock.

Always guarenteed to get your feet tappin', blow away your blues and put a smile back on your face!

[@hughreed621]

great to see this clip with the mighty Jim Creighton on lead guitar - who would later go on to join my band 'Hugh Reed and the Velvet Underpants' - but he keeps that quiet

[@kajsaarinen6957]

Maybe thats better..jäyyyyy

[@Larryshaw48]

Yep, one of the true founders of home brewed music for us kids back in the 50's and through the years until we lost him...

[@thra5herxb12s]

Remember buying this in 82 , produced by BA Robertson

[@tombulli1236]

Oha ... I don't know that. I think that's really COOL! I hope you can still get it on LP or CD ... I have to get it. Somehow I found the 80s and 90s Neo Rockabilly best ... Greetings from German :D

[@SlickCrusty]

[@patcreswell]

Seen them in park Glasgow at that time

[@rockinstephanie253]

Lonnie seems a bit nervous here...seems he underestimated the awesome power of the shakin pyramids.

[@lyndadent744]

Seen Lonnie in the 80s!

[@neilwinspear5928]

GOT THE SINGLE GREAT

[@薫先生]

エレベ？

[@nunyasmith3281]

That would sound great in English..........

[@GreasyFilms-qc1xo]

The Shakin Pyramids brought the fire!!!

[@Kirkdicanio88]

I know Lonnie was trying to be funny but saying the shaking pyramids were not real musicians and Leo Sayer is is a bit disrespectful and stupid come to that

[@KavKavanagh]

He actually said magicians ;)

[@JohnnySmith-no2zc]

Wtf happened to this band? There's hardly anything to be found.

[@WgCdrLuddite]

I bought that EP. It was shite. Can I have my money back ?
