Teddie initially contacted me to correct my inference that his group were "an Irish cabaret act". In Teddie's words, "Cabaret? NO, very much on the pop scene in Ireland, Canada etc", "I still have the scrap books and all the old vinyl, and even the platform silver boots, but unfortunately I gave all the costumes away
for peoples fancy dress (made by Colin at Carnaby Cavern)" .
He initially noted that I had incorrectly spelt his name, but noted that I'd "better not change the name, I forgot that Polydor spelt it wrong on the album, and the single!" The confusion presumably came about due to the group's best known glam era recording being a cover of Elvis Presley's 'Teddy Bear'.
"Did you know Hell of a Fuss & Only came hear to dance featured in the movie 'Confessions of a Pop Performer'? Only in the background mind you!"
"I saw another reference on a site, says we were from Scotland, but we were actually from Co. Antrim in Northern Ireland".
"The Teddy Bear single was totally arranged and recorded by my Rumble Band. The Polydor Ireland boss walked in to the studio in Dublin, and bought it on the spot, lucky for us!"
"Hell of a Fuss was recorded in London at Morgan Studios with among others, Cozy Powell on Drums".
