Budd said as a musician it was his “dream” to appear on Top of The Pops, but the studio “was not as large as what we thought”.<\/p>\n
Miles remembered the show’s floor manager was not convinced the studio would take the weight of the band’s prop tractor.<\/p>\n
He also sabotaged a balloon drop on the programme.<\/p>\n
“During a break, I crept into the studio and took hay from the bales and added it to the netting, so when the balloons fell so did the piles of hay,” he remembered.<\/p>\n
“We did Top of The Pops, then I had to race them to Heathrow to get on a private plane to Exeter before 22:00, and then they had a car waiting to race them to their next gig at Torquay.”<\/p>\n
Miles said Adge Cutler would have been “delighted” with the band’s success.<\/p>\n
“We carried on and sang the songs that kept his name alive.<\/p>\n
“It’s a great tune, there’s no doubt about that whatsoever,” added Budd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Budd said as a musician it was his “dream” to appear on Top of The Pops, but the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":634452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-634451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=634451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/634451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/634452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=634451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=634451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=634451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
