Brilliant listening to this.. I've been a fan since the beginning and at 78 years still thrilled to listen to my albums,. Saw them Live in Port Elizabeth, South Africa! Wow! Thank you Roy

Roy Phillips, what a beautiful man. I am 62 years old this year. The Peddlers, Three In A Cell LP used to blast out from my dads beloved stereo gram in our living room when I was a young girl in Greater Manchester, England. My dad loved them (he was a drummer) and so I have loved them all of my life too 😊 I went down a you tube rabbit hole last night and I am still wallowing in the beautiful velvety sounds and the words from this unforgettable group. I wish I could have seen them live. Sending my best wishes. Keep well Roy. xx

The best music came from this era. I'm so glad I was part of it.

This is a lovely interview with roy Phillips from the peddlers. I had the pleasure of dating roy Phillips for a few years in the 60s In London I was a playboy bunny at the time. I went on to become a national skating coach for Canada I still love to hear his music and his voice

[@superacesnare]

I was hooked when my dad brought the fantastic peddlers album. Roy’s a fantastic musician

[@deweyschneebly4074]

Wow!! Roy Phillips is up there with the BEST..... jazz or rock, in terms of keyboard virtuosity, vocals and composition

[@EricTricklebank]

Love Roy Phillips, his playing style actually got better in my opinion. Great choice for a guest TBGO !

[@jackcairns108]

Roy Philips is my grandad

[@g13flat]

He's a wonderful singer and keyboard player as well as being very humble about his talents. I've only just discovered The Peddlers and am glad I did. Please pass on my warmest regards to him. :)

[@marialaupama7303]

Awesome...we done a song as backup with your grandad in 1983 called New zealand New Zealand im trying to find the song to listen to on Amazon to no avail !

[@twisted_nether373]

What a legend!

[@rossco289]

Hey poo bum the peddlers were a British group, I saw them in a nightclub in Auckland mid sixties. I'm a jazz player 55 plus years, listen to the preciseness of their playing, the improvisation, note bending, they are musicians musicians.

Roy Phillips talking about the early days of The Peddlers !

[@PaulLea]

Love Roy and anything Peddlers. I remember well when The Peddlers hit NZ back about 70-71, they were on TV a lot, what a shame the tight NZBC didn't keep any of their video. Same goes for Quincy Conserve, ....they were on TV a lot back then as well, but no video exists today of their songs either.

[@wadeconnell1493]

Indeed Paul, Our group (The Web) played a bunch of Peddler's songs at Oliver's in Chew's Lane about then. Our bassist, Murray Loveridge joined Quinceys some time after. Good times....

[@PaulLea]

@@wadeconnell1493 wow ..that's very cool indeed.

[@timchildress2048]

We never heard of the Peddlers in the U.S. until their rendition of "On A Clear Day" was used on an episode of Breaking Bad. Great sound!

[@Dr.Fiendish]

The Peddlers were superb!

[@craigrobertson8364]

Yes our mum had the album with girlie on it,we used to play it on the radiogram as kid's in chch

[@saveourplanet0139]

Great guy!

[@poobum9857]

Yes the Peddlers were so polished and plenty could not believe this was a New Zealand group - Roy has a fantastic voice - good to see him looking so well

[@russellmcquarters732]

Plenty was right!! The peddlers were never from NZ, although they toured here frequently. Roy came to NZ After they disbanded.

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

That is quite correct, Russell quarterpounder.... Roy Phillips, (who, coincidentally, after their CBS recording period, recorded on the Philips label)......was born in 1941 [now aged 77] in Parkstone, Dorset, and drummer Trevor Morais was from Liverpool..... New Zealanders "took to the Peddlers"..... Well, New Zealanders are also passionate about lambs and sheep.... :).. In this video, Roy says he moved to NZ in 1981, and took well to the place and to the people there....

[@terrymatthews8219]

When will you come across the ditch to Sydney

[@patricklloydhulme1746]

That's the guy I knew as Danny Birch. We often got compared to each other in looks and playing/vocal style. Don't ask me how this came about. To this day I knew him as Danny Birch!

2:55 Wasn't it 304 Holloway Road?

[@halcyon289]

Masonic handshake !

[@sleddy12345]

The set designer for this programme should be shot. Roy Phillips is great but this song is crass; let this be a lesson to all songwriters: the word 'girlie' should never, ever, ever be used in a musical context (it's almost as bad as 'shorty'). It's been scientifically proven that certain words can induce nausea: `Frock, pants, poorly, girlie'. In fact, calling your partner 'girlie' could well lead to a lifetime of singularity. A moratorium on 'girlie' henceforth please.

[@EricTricklebank]

The song was done on a previous occasion, not on this show, plus Im pretty sure it was a hit

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

Girly is vernacular, like darlin' duckie or honey.....

[@g13flat]

You have to remember that when it was written and recorded the world was quite a different place to what it is today.

[@hilaryjones3227]

@@g13flat That's true. I am a female of that era and there are lots of expressions that would be considered inappropriate or old fashioned now. At my age I would not object to someone calling me Girie, it would make my day!

[@nicholaswalker3230]

We had a girl in our town Girlie was her first name.. Later in life I met a second girl called Girlie. None of those girls were named after the song. Girlie is a better name then shitface.. ✅✅✅✅
