Marmalade

Marmalade is a Scottish pop rock band from the east end of Glasgow, originally formed in 1961 as The Gaylords, and then later billed as Dean Ford and the Gaylords. In 1966 they changed the band name to The Marmalade. The most successful period for the band, in terms of UK chart success, was between 1968 and 1972. From the early 1970s, after the original players began to drift away, the band evolved with many further changes and still exists to this day touring the nostalgia circuit. With the departure of Graham Knight in September 2010, there are now no original Marmalade members remaining in the band.

Links To Peel
Peel didn '' t seem to be a fan of the group according to singer Junior Campbell in the Melody Maker published on 29th June 1968:

"'It's funny – John Peel doesn't like us. We've done every radio show except his. To quote John Peel: 'It's ridiculous.' Maybe we're not beautiful enough. We're sorry to be so commercial. But this is our living. This is the way we earn our keep and we want to make hits and please people. Before we had a hit, quite a few other groups raved about us, but nobody else bothered about us. As long as the public buy our records, that's all we are worried about now.'"

In the 70's, Peel's attitudes to the band changed when he started on his 14 December 1971 show mentioning liking their singles and their recent album. He also compered their performance at Paris Theatre on the same show and stating that their single Cousin Norman was his all time best single which he admitted to sing along with the pig in his flat.
