Doggerel Bank - Mister Skillicorn Dances

Review by Kazumasa Harumoto

Doggerel Bank's album "Mister Skillicorn Dances" is a delightful and eclectic mix of genres and styles. The band's musicianship is impressive, with each member bringing their own unique sound to the table. The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "The Ballad of Mister Skillicorn," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. From there, the band takes listeners on a journey through folk, rock, and even a touch of jazz.

The lyrics are witty and engaging, with a focus on storytelling and clever wordplay. "The Devil's Darning Needle" is a standout track, with its haunting melody and dark lyrics. "The Bumblebee's Lament" is another highlight, with its whimsical melody and clever lyrics.

Loved Spike as I child, but I would have been too young to appreciate this band. Discovering it now at 53! Thanks for uploading :0)

does anyone know if they're still alive and going? the lead vocalist was called william bealby-wright, and i believe his wife is/was the violinist, called susan baker.

Not bad a Bit like Vivian Stanshall.
Remember hearing them live on John Peels "Sounds of the 70s". Excellent number called "A Shropshire Lad" (A Betjeman Poem) set to their quirky music. Sadly never recorded - I've searched for many years.

Heard this, probably this performance, over 40 years ago and it's stuck in my head ever since. Marvellous to hear it again.

This clip brings back wonderful memories. I worked on the show and fell in love with the rhythm, poetry and music of this group.
The composer Jim Parker is seen here playing the cor anglais. His award-winning compositions, musical scores and TV themes range from mischievously funny to truly haunting. His collaboration with John Betjeman was pure genius. Mr Skillicorn is a strange piece - one you can't quite get out of your ears.

I had no idea this clip existed! Bought their LPs years ago - still treasure them. Many thanks for posting this video.

Long been a fan of Silver Faces but hadn't seen him until now.Too observant to have been wildly popular.
