Viv Stanshall

[Jem Stone]

btw. Talking of Radio and Viv. Radio 4 have a new documentary/feature
next week where Neil Innes will be playing tribute to Viv.

"Musician and performer Neil Innes discusses the life of his Bonzo Dog
Doo Dah Band colleague and friend Vivian Stanshall. Neil recalls the
moment he met Vivian Stanshall in London: he was wearing Billy Bunter
trousers, a Victorian frock coat and horrible purple pince-nez glasses
and carrying a euphonium. So began a friendship and a musical
partnership that exploded into life with The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band,
culminating in tours and TV series. Vivian's second wife, Ki
Longfellow, joins the discussion to help explore the man behind the
colourful public persona."
