Talk:The Wombles

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steeleye span were not always the band, perhaps that should be clearer. All sorts of people filled in including well known musicians from bands like 10cc. A TV history program actually revealed that the smell issue was a big one. They only had one set of womble costumes and at times they smelt so bad they had an extra hotel room booked to keep them in.

I think the Steeleye Span story probably happened in December 1975, as that seems to be the only time Steeleye Span and the Wombles would have both been appearing on TOTP (promoting "All Around My Hat" and "Let's Womble To The Party Tonight" respectively) but I'm not keen to put that in unless someone can confirm my suspicion first.

[edit] 9/8?

I hate to admit this, but I've still got my old cassettes of Wombes music from when I was a kid... and there's no way Minuetto Allegretto is 9/8. 12/8 or 6/8, maybe, but not 9/8.[[User:Grutness|Grutness talk ]] 12:51, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Number of books

Elizabeth's personal entry says "As well as writing 20 Wombles books," yet this section only lists a few.
