This short historical look at The Honeycombs was great. Thanks very much for compiling so much information and knitting it together with appropriate video and photos. Well done!
Honey Lantree was a really good drummer, she was also a good singer and sang on some of the other Honeycombs records. Sadly no longer with us, RIP Honey.
I went with my girlfriend to the Honeycombs performance at the Town Hall, in Wellington New Zealand in what must have been 1966/67 around then. Great fun. Their guitars fascinated me because they had these horns just like a Scarab Beetle. Latter I learned they were Burns guitars.
I was a ten or eleven year old N London kid at that time. I bought a 45 every week and contributed to their number one hit. My cousin and I used to sing and stomp along.
Im 58 and I just found out about the Honeycombs about 2 weeks. What a great band. So many great songs, Color Slide and Ive got to tell you something and 2 of my favorites. Does anyone know where Honey Lantree is buried?
@@davepayne586Or ChatGPT which says this : Honey Lantree, the drummer of the 1960s British band The Honeycombs, is buried at the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium in Newham, London, England.
Just a little correction to Dave Dee, Dosy, Beaky Mick and Titch. “Titch “ is pronounced like “itch” it means a little person in the UK, Britain - sometimes something an older sibling would say to a little brother or anyone might say to someone of short stature. With Dave Dee’s band it seems to be an endearing nickname, but it was often used dismissively. Great post BTW - I love the Honeycombs.
How could anyone with English as a first language not know that ‘Tich’ is not pronounced’Tick’. Well unless you are Gen Zoomers who seem to have an amazing ability to make mistakes like that all the time and think close enough is good enough.
