[@easystar123]

I turn 60 this year and remember like yesterday Showwaddywaddy winning New Faces talent show on ITV. They were a fantastic band, comprising of great singers, great musicians and great stage presence with their colourful outfits and dance movements.

[@colinwood1023]

I remember watching them winning new faces to like you sed great band 👍

[@kevspencer5744]

Ditto within a few months, those were the days, up to the mid 80s and then it all went wrong.

[@roberthird9089]

Yep.@@kevspencer5744

[@sheikhyaboooty]

I remember Romeo`s flat above the newsagents on the cross roads in a South Leicestershire village. His selection of drape jackets in the window always made me smile as a kid.

[@samanthamarshall2750]

Yes maite I grew up with love respect. Music I grew up with at age of 58, was more than love keep rocking.. Mike ant coote. Xxxx

[@Unknownlll123]

[@rosswhittleton6277]

I remember them on New Faces I was 11 then I went onto buy all their singles (45s) and LPs starting with Under the Moon of Love. I'm still listening now at 61!

[@abberationify]

Went to see these guys a couple of times in the late 70's and have to say they put on brilliant live performances, Dave Bartram was a great front man. Remember this one in particular, as the auditorium floor was shaking to the beat of all the young ladies dancing in the aisles, and the atmosphere was terrific, everyone having a great time. Good memories , but such a long time ago now!

[@MrLesliegreen]

Great beginning, this song certainly still sounds good and this song gets my vote even after all these years!! Thank you Showaddywaddy.

[@raypirie8780]

Showaddywaddy the band that got me into becoming a Ted and discovering rock n roll rockabilly, cheers guys buddy gask was the best, me n my mate were invited onto the stage in 1982 with them when they saw us dancin like them in front of the stage!

[@rattierat614]

I remember as a child watching my mam dance around to showaddywaddy they were her favourite band sadly my mam passed away 23 years ago age 54, but I still listen to them as it reminds me of her

[@Hawkwind77]

[@JamesDouglas-my1dn]

[@stuartcarefoot4804]

First band I ever saw live, seen them many times, and this, in my opinion showcases their talents, not just as a superb group but individually, rewatch this focusing on individuals and you’ll understand,

[@timjordan5288]

Loved the wads when I was a kid !! In my 50s now still sound great 👍

[@mrpensive7341]

[@harrietgate]

Bill Gask was super talented. Great sense of pitch and rhythm. He anchors the whole thing.

[@shirleyrook7111]

[@RFED2O]

How can you not love them... Im knocking 60 yet remember them so clearly always put a smile on my face in the 70's

[@easystar123]

[@flashtheoriginal]

Its 2020 And Showaddywaddy are STILL relevant. Quite right. Cracking song. The brilliant Buddy Gask on the baritone underpin. Class

[@afcwfcwfc]

And in 2021

[@goldheartbadge]

Agreed. For me, his middle eight in 'A Little Bit of Soap' was his finest moment.

[@flashtheoriginal]

@@goldheartbadge great call, Gold.

[@geowynleda4641]

Saw them live, twice. They were just as good as you would expect.

[@mohammedalmegrawi5321]

Showaddywaddy ... I Loved them in my Teens and still do now in my middle 50's :)

[@bobhanton8881]

Totally agree, easy listening

[@hammycats6919]

You are same age as my late sister. She went to their concert in Brighton in 1978 a year before she died and she had a huge crush on Dave Bartram and my mum sent a message backsrage to him explainjng my sister had cancer and he was kind enough to give my sister a bag of free merchandise and my sister didn't stop talking about that night shr got close to Dave, Awww. 🙏😢

[@redsky106]

Steven Dymock same here I grew up with them in the 70s ,,,,,when I was older I actually saw them live in Edinburgh in the 1990s , Amazing ,.,.

[@thepowerstation2702]

I saw them at The Crawley Leisure Centre in the 1980s with my family. I've seen anyone whose anyone since and still Showadywady rocked! 👍 💖 🙏 😊 ✌️

[@nevetsgnil1962]

Great memories of the 1970s brilliant music memorable summer's.

[@ralphnelles]

Wonderful memories .... some good pictures to take with you

[@goldigit]

Wow, a song with melody and lyrics with no mention of hoods or ho's. Bring back real music... please!

[@MrLesliegreen]

Yes, a band that are still the same now and all those years ago when they became well known. Wearing the same coloured suits but just getting older. They still sing the same well known songs that are still catchy! Old songs are still good songs.

[@ollierobinson777]

No showaddywaddy without the late great doowop king buddy gask. Would just of been a group of singers. He was awesome.

[@janeough45]

these guys must have the best vocals ever they are so unique ,,,whata genius band lol xx

[@j8kkb]

check out Shanana, or the Belmonts

[@fingersTitan]

@@j8kkb I've just come from the original version of this.. Showaddywaddy are a great homage band for all the old doo-wap bands

[@j8kkb]

@@fingersTitan yep I thought it was great they carried the type of music on and nobody did it better than them

[@Frieddie1]

Diese Musik passte sehr gut in die 70er Jahre, Danke fürs Hochladen!

[@vtx1321]

Yeah Dave was the pin up boy. But Mr Bass man Buddy was the real Rock n Roller. His vocal range was awesome

[@tonyhunt857]

Saw them in 1980 at parr hall warrington then again 10 years ago at the old willows in Salford what a great band I remember racing them down the m62 they was in there mini bus after the gig it was ace

[@tonyburlton]

I remember going to the Christmas ball at Keele University in December 1976. They headed the bill in the evening and announced they had just achieved their first number one with Under the Moon of Love. What a great night. Great band and great times when the world was normal!

[@GARYINLEEDS]

Thanks ever so much for sharing, shared. Herein.2022.

[@elaineslater6647]

I quite agree these were the day's when music was absolutely brilliant better than the rubbish these days

[@michaelburland7932]

I bought this , showaddywaddy was the first group I followed. " Under the Moon of Love." Was the first song that caught my attention as a youngster.

[@debwilson5236]

I was obsessed when I was young my mum loved them too Dave Bartram was very good looking

[@chrishine2717]

Yea Dave's falsetto is a thing of beauty, but damn, Buddy and the harmony vocals were never better than this :)

[@DanyLove48]

So true

[@johnmoore562]

You can't get better ,but to have been around in the 50's to hear these doo wop bands, the platters the sky larks the drifters and those that have not been mentioned, would of been something to have admired , no auto tune in those days , sonny Williams vocals of the platters and the late rudy Lewis of the drifters who past away so young ,there vocals ,sonny Williams singing my prayer and listen to rudy Lewis sing to the music of stranger on a shore absolutely sublime
