No. Jim (i seem to remember) died ages ago. I dont even know how we knew about it back then. Good debate between him and Simon. As well as a good poem.

I think he was on KF and Lookabootye. And probably lineone/tiscali

The BJH connection was that, for some reason, they issued a single in the early 70s under the name "Bombadil". Ive posted a question on their forum

Yes this is the real "Little John" (or it could be "colin")

He was known to Maureen (Mico) but she’s not here anymore either.

That was quick. Keith Dromore [ Domone ] the fan club secretary replied already!

MWF mentioned this again in the Nostalgia thread. Ive head it mentioned before but why did the band issue a single under a different name? I see the name is from Tom Bombadil in Tolkein and there is an American folk group of the same name.

I believe that it was because “Breathless” was a throwaway track, an instrumental bit of tongue-in-cheek glam-rock froth recorded when the band were fooling around in the studio - maybe a response to the record company’s pressure for a hit single. It was completely out of character for BJH, hence the pseudonym Bombadil, and the daft writing credits! Presumably Harvest label manager Nick Mobbs was in on the joke, given that he’s credited as co producer

Oops! That should be "Keith Domone".
