Talk:The Hotshots

Hotshots connection to Wild Country

The placing of the references to the band name Wild Country seem to be wrong currently. Wild Country were a predecessor band to Albatross, as explained in detail at the referenced Bournemouth Beat Boom page: https://bournemouthbeatboom.wordpress.com/albatross-the-hotshots/ Wild Country apparently had nothing to do with the band that appeared on Top Of The Pops (and that later became the Hi-Shots).

From an article in Record Mirror 1 September 1973 (pages 12, 17), the backing band recruited for Top Of The Pops had previously been called Rupert's Pudding: https://www.worldradiohistory.com/UK/Record-Mirror/70s/73/Record-Mirror-1973-09-01-S-OCR.pdf

I believe that the following changes should be made: (1) removal of "- Wild Country -" between "Crawley recruited a different band" and "which appeared twice on Top Of The Pops" (or replacement with "- Rupert's Pudding -"). (2) After "As the single dropped out of the charts", the replacement of "Wild Country" with a description such as "the backing band that appeared on Top Of The Pops". (3) Replacement of "Wild Country" above the line-up of Alan Kanter, Peter Dye, Kelvin Purcell, with a description such as "Top Of The Pops appearance" or the name "Rupert's Pudding". (4) Possibly an explanation that Albatross had previously been called Wild Country. Electric Dylan Lad (talk) 13:53, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
