In 1985 Ignatius Jones formerly of Jimmy and the Boys formed the band Pardon Me Boys, an affectionate and slightly irreverent salute to the hits of the 30s and 40s, with the smallest hint of speakeasy sleaze, the big band swing of Glenn Miller and the heavenly harmonies of the Andrew Sisters. It grew from a 3 piece vocal group into the incredibly popular 13 piece dance band extravaganza. MonicaTrapaga was a member of the band, we all know her from her time as the presenter on Playschool and her own band Monica and The Moochers the other mainstay is William O'Riordan or as you may remember him Joylene Hairmouth also from Jimmy and the Boys.
I loved Pardon Me Boys, I was fortunate enough to see them live - just sensational. They did a great version of Stairway to Heaven on Andrew Denton's TV show, "The Money Or The Gun" about (gulp) 30 years ago which is posted on the Rock On Vinyl site - https://rockonvinyl.blogspot.com/2016/02/wock-on-vinyl-various-artists-stairways.html
