With the seemingly endless appetite for sixties group
reunions, the Pen can report that Ernie Whistler Watts is thinking of getting
together his ex-band, "The Whistlers," for a comeback concert. Ernie has been
living outside of Puckering for the last 35 years on a farm bought from the proceeds of
the Whistlers's one hit single, "Blow It." The band was noted for its dance
routines, performed in sync whilst whistling in unison. Unfortunately the follow-up
album "Whistlers's Mother" was a commercial failure.
"It took me a while to track the lads down," said a still slim Watts.
"Alf had a hip replacement, so hes not so quick on his pegs these days, and
Georgies a bit short of breath after the operation, but I dont doubt we'll be
able to shake a leg or two. I thought that with all the boy bands out there we could be a
granddad band. Well give the old dears a chance to get excited. I reckon a few
smooth moves and well have them rushing the stage."
For those that cant remember the words of Blow It, it was an instrumental.
