The Merton Parkas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Merton Parkas were a Mod revival band formed in the Merton area of south London in the mid-'70s by Danny Talbot (vocals & guitar), Mick Talbot (keyboards), Neil Hurrell (bass), and Simon Smith (drums). They emerged on the wave of Mods revival and signed with an independent label called Beggars Banquet Records.
They had a few moderately successful singles like :
- You Need Wheels
- Plastic Smile
- Give It To Me Now
- Put Me In The Picture
and one LP
- Face In The Crowd
After the group disbanded in 1980, Mick Talbot went on to play with Dexy's Midnight Runners, The Bureau, and with Paul Weller in The Style Council.
