Daddy Yum Yum 1980-82

Daddy Yum Yum had a Sunday night residency at the Alhambra in Brighton, played regularly at

The Hope & Anchor, Dingwalls and other London venues and supported Ian Dury at The Hammersmith Odeon (as it was then) on Charles and Di's wedding night.

Unlike The Piranhas, Daddy Yum Yum actually turned down a record deal with Pete Waterman and then went out with a whimper instead of a bang!

God knows what we thought we were playing at the time but listening to it again I realise that we had invented Thrash Skiffle!
