Some of you may have noticed that this week marks the 70th anniversary of the famous Bletchley Town Hall Concert by Allan Turing and The Enigmas.This success was followed only a month later by the loss of his trombone player,Glen Miller,on a mysterious flight to Germany,possibly to try to get hold of the secret dots of Lillie Marlene.Forced to make changes Turing brought in George Formby on banjo and Vera Lynn on vocals and the rest,as they say,is history.

Hello.I am going to see Joseph and His Technicolour Waistcoat this week. Is this anything to do with Breathless and their waistcoats?

I was lucky enough to be present at The Fourth Leukaemia Research Fundraising Concert at The Sportsman's Rest last Saturday.As before a wonderful evening with four great acts to enjoy.I believe that around £600 was raised for the charity on the night,and can I thank and congratulate all that were involved. Do you know that when I was a lad growing up in the London suburbs an evening like that would have cost you a great deal of money for the ticket alone.I hope that the punters today realise just how lucky they are to get into a concert like that for nothing.I bet they don't though. Well done to all you musicians,compere and DJ.You have worked wonders, and can all be proud of yourselves for your skills and your generosity.Many,many thanks.

I knew a woman with four tits once - Esther Rantzen. The four were Adrian Mills, Doc Cox, Gavin Campbell and Cyril Fletcher. To help her out I phoned the Gas Board...and on each occasion they said "I'm sorry, but this has got nothing to do with us"

I grew up in the Blackforest ghettos back home in Bavaria. Life was hard, indeed tough, in so many ways but what kept me going through ze hard times und ze bad times was zat life would get better somehow. Hy best schoolfriend, Hans Neesundbumzadaze, und I would learn Breathless hits from listening on ze radio under ze bedsheets. "Herman" Hans vould zay "Herman, Herman - ich bin eine kleine sure zat Lew ist playing ze B7 chord." It was zen I shopped him to ze authorities und used ze reward money to buy some bratwurst und schitzel. Great days!

How I Like To Spend Sunday.No 27:King Richard 2.
I like to have a bit of a lie in after the week's Affairs of State,but after a bit I get a few of the lads together and we go down to the local cave and knock hell out of the hermit who lives there.Then we'll probably go down to the Tower and blind a couple of the boy princes that we keep there ,or have some fun with red hot pokers.After that it's down to the local. I usually have a couple of their enormous Lark and Onion Pies washed down with 8 pints of mead,and still get change out of a groat.

Hello again.Well now that summer is really here what can be better than an evening stroll through the leafy lanes of Shenley Church End to hear Breathless at The Sportman's Rest.Of course some of us old diehards still think of it as The Clock Inn,and who can forget those heady Breathless concerts that really put the old place on the map.I'll be there again for the annual Leukaemia Research Fundraiser on Saturday July 4th.It promises to be a sell out,so get there early.

Cheers.Yeah,well,talkin' about The Trooping of The Colour and Jools Whatsit, it's not easy to play the piano sittin' on a horse.
Anyway ,you asked me what I thought of Breathless' new drummer.One of my mates has got me a bootleg copy of the Legendary Banbury tapes,and from what I hear you've got nothin' to worry about.Keep it real. Gazz

Followin' on from Mrs Armstrong's recollections about family life in post-war Dorridge, I thought I'd write in too! I remember walkin' through the dog muck in Bentley 'eath park next to the funny little trainer of Bentley 'eath Jubilee FC with me li'l multi-seater pram! Who woulda thought that Merril would grow up to be a nauseatingly cheesy all-round entertainer? Or that Wayne would grow up to be a would grow up to be a nauseatingly cheesy all-round entertainer? Or that Donny would grow up to be a nauseatingly cheesy all-round entertainer? Or that Little Jimmy would grow up to be a nauseatingly cheesy all-round entertainer?

Talking of music,the Lady Wife and I were appalled to note that at the conclusion of the BBC transmission of The Trooping of The Colour today ,Jools someone or other was interviewed by the diminutive ,but perfectly formed, Claire Balding on the subject of the performance of the Guards bands.What ,one asks,does he know about it ? Not unlike asking an aboriginal tribesman for his views on the performance of Breathless.If i had my way I would close down the BBC immediately.

When I listen to Breathless, my mind goes back to when I used to push my four boys down Station Road in their prams on me way to Top Knot for an 'airdo. I used to get 'em some crisps to keep 'em quiet while me an' Carol would 'ave a chat under the dryers. Who woulda thought that the eldest, Louis, would become the father figure of jazz. Neil, the next one, found fame as the first fella what walked on the moon. Lance of course defeated cancer to become a multiple Tour de France winner, whilst Stretch, the youngest, become one of the most popular toy dolls in '50s and '60s America. Lucky, really. My daughter, Sharon, made nuffin' of her life and 'as been spongin' off me an' her dad for years. Bloody leach.

There have been many famous Scottish influences in the development of rock...Rod Stewart, from the traditional Scots heartland district of Brentford, NW London, being the most obvious. However there have also been many famous Macs. Mac of Breathless, Small Face Ian "Mac" McLagan, and of course the Mac worn by Paul Weller on the front cover of Cafe Bleu by the Style Council.

It was great to have Breathless back at the General Foods Social Club,Banbury.They are a great band to dance to,and they soon had the place rocking.I noticed that the session was recorded and would love to hear the results.The new drummer follows in the excellent tradition of the swinging Breathless engine room and we look forward to their next visit.
(Posted on 2009-06-10 16:47:00 by ) -
Good to see that thechaps at HQ have woken up at last and got the gremlins out of the jolly old website.Wizard prang.Some of the chaps from the Squadron flew into Banbury last Saturday for the Breathless gig and helped the lads take the place apart.Most impressed with the new drummer,young McErlane.Is he any relation to the Ginger McErlane who once drove a bouncing bomb through Shenley Leisure Centre whilst blind folded? Those were the days.Tally Ho.
(Posted on 2009-06-09 21:24:00 by ) -
Please use this page to pay tribute to Ian, who has departed Breathless, and to welcome new skinsman 'Mac' McErlane!

Yes brother workers, I am afraid that the established time and movement practices adopted by the rock & roll combo Breathless over the Christmas & New Year period, have started to seriously jeropardise their standing as the hardest working band in showbusiness. Here's to more gigs or else I'll bring you all out
(Posted on 2009-01-07 08:43:00 by ) -
Dear Sirs. I have followed up your Myspace link,and see that you list New Orleans jazz as an influence.I was wondering if you have any advice for a trombone player who would like to get into Breathless ? My friend Pat plays the trumpet.
(Posted on 2009-01-04 15:58:00 by ) -
I hope you all had a good Christmas and have a happy new year. Breathless return to the stage in February in 2009. Since we have been away I have recorded a solo album, "Onwards & Upwards". It should be ready for sale in the early Spring. Check out 4 preview songs on www.myspace.com/onwardsandupwardsejones
Keep it real!

Why does everyone have a downer on me for being second on the moon. Ok, Armstrong was first, fair dos - good luck to 'im, but its only me in the list of famous runners up that everyone remembers. No-one remembers who the second drummer in the Beatles was after Pete Best, no-one remembers who lost to England in the '66 world cup final, yet I am always singled out and picked on. Life sucks.

This week we have asked Breathless fan Alan Turing for his ideas:
I have been saving up the points on my ration book and hope to enjoy a little corned beef and mashed swede,washed down with some homemade acorn cordial.Then I will settle down to decode a few cryptograms. Should be good.

Hi Readers.This month we'll be asking all our regular contributors what food they will be giving their guests on Christmas Day.Let's start with our Resident Technical Expert,Gazz :
Yeah,cheers.When I was on the road we used to stop at a little greasy spoon at Gravesend for a good old nosh up before a gig.My favourite was always the Pumpkin,Mushroom,and Gorganzola Pie with Cranberry and Kumquat Relish,and drizzled with Apricot Jus.
That's what me and the lads will be tucking into this year.

Hi folks
Sorry for the delay in responding to questions and queries, but I have been hard at work on the official website of the National Governing Body of Speed-Stacking (T.O.S.S.E.R.S.)
In fact, Lady Mountbatten was a champion speed stacker, although she tended to pull them down quicker than she put them back up again

I have recently viewed a television documentary on the career and back stage love life of Leslie Hutchinson ,"Hutch",the darling of high society between the wars. I must confess to being apalled at the revelations of the goings on "behind the scenes",and I have to ask if Breathless indulge in this sort of behaviour? I must warn you that if the answer is in the affirmative I will immediately transfer my fan club membership to Sir Cliff Richard and The Shadows. By the way I have been waiting for a message on your "website " from my sister.Do you know what has happened to it ?

Breathless - they really take your breath away. Performed at our club twice and had the place rocking on both occasions. Look forward to having them back.

Now that the leaves are turning gold,and there is a distinct nip in the air it's time to sit down in front of a cosy fire and listen to some of your old LP's again.I have had a happy hour or two this week re-visiting my boyhood heroes Alan Turing and The Enigmas.What a great band they were,and listening to them again took me away from all the dismal talk of recession and financial doom.Some of the sound is a bit dingy,compared with today's hih fi,but one has to remember that many of the tracks were boootleg tapes made with hidden tape recorders at the now famous Clock Inn sessions in the 1940's.Have a look through your cupboard and see what you can find.Happy listening! Next week:Doctor Crock and his Crackpots.

Oh no !!The Colonel's message reminds me of the time when I was touring Japan with Alan Turing and The Enigmas..Turing put me in charge of the drummer and bassplayer.We had to change trains in Tokyo and I put them in a left luggage locker whilst I went off to visit a local shrine (Ho,Ho ). When I got back I forgot al about them until reading the Colonel's message.What do you think I should do about it ?To make matters worse I think I have lost the key.
(Posted on 2008-10-22 08:04:00 by ) -
The Lady Wife and I have just returned from a spot of leave in Japan,and you may be interested to learn that we heard no music of any kind during our stay. It occurs to me that you Breathless chaps could earn a fortune if you went out there and did a few concerts for our friends in those parts.You may have to learn a smatterring of Japanese of course,but that should be childs play.

K.Jockey makes a very good point in that Dickie's use of the lightmeter was undoubtedly superb.In an International career of 66 test matches Dickie achieved a lightmeter average of 22 lumens per square meter,a record that is unlikely to be surpassed in these days of global warming.

Ee.I took some stick over that finish in 1908 and my ruling that the banana was helped over the line.But the course was waterlogged,the sun was shining off the press box windows,and Alan Lamb's mobile phone kept going off in my pocket.If that weren't enough the old Farmer Giles was playin' oop something rotten.Of course they have a fourth umpire and TV replays these days.
(Posted on 2008-09-02 19:46:00 by ) -
British bananas are the best in the world.I think we can confidently expect a gold medal at Willen Lake.I can still remember the exciting,if contraversial,finish in the 1908 Bananaman Chase when a banana was helped across the finishing line by a kindly but out of order Cox's Orange Pippin.Must watch out for slip ups though.

If you are intending to go out walkng over the holidays here are a few tips to make things that little bit more enjoyable.Don't forget to take a pocket folding tent and an inflatable bath for those emergencies that sometimes crop up.One of those pump up cooking stoves is also a good idea when you feel like a snack. And yes,remember a packet of Worther's originals so that you are ready for any eventuallity. Happy hiking!!

The link between art and music is expansive and prolonged. Considering the pioneering work of pop artists such as Peter Blake and Andy Warhol in their creative input to Beatles, Paul Weller and Velevet Underground recordings to the fact that many of the 60s British Invasion bands had their roots in the art college world, image has gone hand in hand with popular music.
Bloomin' great, innit, art? I like what I know and I know what I bloody well like!

Tension is building towards fever pitch in the idyllic Buckinghamshire village of Shenley Church End as the count down to The Clock Inn Leukaemia Fund Raiser ticks away. Flying over the area in a helicopter I could see that armies of Breathless fans are already making for the village,sleeping in makeshift camps along the way .Of course there are some dissenting voices amongst this upmarket stockbroker belt community but a spokesman for Breathless,Lt Col Carruthers of Bagshott ,Surrey ,is clearly trying hard to defuse any worries and build bridges of friendship with the more outspoken villagers."I'll just send a raiding party in at dawn and shoot the b*gg*rs",he told me.
Undoubtedly this is the biggest thing to have hit the area since the 1940's when Alan Turing played tea dances with his Enigmas at the W.I. Hut in Loughton."They was exciting times" said the village's oldest resident. " But nothing as exciting as you are going to see on July 12,Grandad.",I told him as he accepted another foaming tankard of the famous local ale. " P'raps you're roight there zun." ,he said giving me a toothless smile.I have the feeling that Breathless have yet another fan.

Following the furore caused by Kevin Pietersen's left-handed exploits in the recent one dayer against New Zealand at Durham, it is perhaps timely to remind people that this is in fact nothing new. Alan Turing was breaking codes left-handed way back in the early 1940s, whilst Breathless' Ed Jones played a southpaw solo at Willen Lake in 2007. A more atonal load of rubbish you could not wish to hear. It truly was terrible.

The death of Bo Diddley this month has again raised the question of who invented rock'n'roll ? Surely I am not the only one to have noticed that the rock'n'roll of the 1960's was the same as the jive of the 1940's ? Same rhythm,same dancing,same everything.
