After Dinner Speakers: The Wurzels, Earvin Johnson, Jay Leno

Legends of the West Country, best known for their Hits of the 70’s, Combine Harvester, I am a Cider Drinker, The Blackbird Song, Morning Glory, Drink Up thy Zider, etc. now have a huge cult follwing in the 90’s throughout the U.K. They have made thousands of live appearances throughout the U.K, in Canada, the Middle East, Spain and Central America – have three Royal shows to their credit, before Princess Anne, The Duchess of Gloucester, The Duchess of Kent, even appearing at Buckingham Palace. Their television appearances have been many – and varied – from Blue Peter to the Generation Game – Top of the Pops to Highway, then in 1998 the Steve Coogan show on BBC1, Never Mind the Buzzocks on the BBC2, The Harry Hill show in December 1998 on Channel 4, Night Fever in January 1999 on Channel 5 and then in April 1999 on Channel 4, featured in a look back at past No 1 hit singles. Listen out for them on a television advert for a well known rice pudding. June 2000 saw the new catch up with the old when The Wurzels at last fulfilled a career ambition when they were “The Surprise Group” at Glastonbury Music Festival. Also the year 2000 saw EMI Records bow to e-mail pressure and release a 24 track CD featuring tracks recorded between 1966 and 1978 by The Wurzels– and the late, great Adge Cutler.
