To his surprise, the song became a huge international hit, rising to #1 in the United States.

When Stephens received several requests for The New Vaudeville Band to tour he had to put together a group, since the song was recorded by studio musicians hired only for the recording session. He contacted a real group, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, which played similar music at the time. Only Bob Kerr from that group was interested, so he left The Bonzos to help Stephens form a touring version of The New Vaudeville Band. The lead singer of the touring version of the group was Alan Klein, who was billed as 'Tristram—Seventh Earl Of Cricklewood'. The group enjoyed success for two years until the novelty wore off. Kerr then formed his own group, Bob Kerr's Whoopee Band, which continues to perform.

In 1967, The New Vaudeville Band released the Finchley Central LP.

There was so much variety of music styles in the Sixties. Virtually anything could become a big hit. Rock, pop, jazz, R&B, folk, vocals, instrumentals, movie themes, Broadway, etc. What a great time for music.

That was the best things about the Sixties.

Wesley Cook

The 1920s meet the 1960s. I've seen Rudy Valee use a megaphone m old films. This song was a surprise hit considering the time period and styles of music playing on the radio.

Duke of Prunes II

The Rudy Valley megaphone sound made this song quite memorable by the 1960s -- great to hear this gem again!

Oh wow. Haven’t heard this in ages. I think I saw this on the Ed Sullivan show. Great memories

Michael Tuz

I vividly remember watching this when it first aired 55 years ago! I guess it made quite an impression on my eleven year old self! Thanks for replaying such a fond memory!

JillKJV

I haven't heard this song in ages! What a blast! Thank you. 👏

A beautiful era for all types of music. The variety was enormous and we loved it all. You just put the radio on and enjoyed it all. Every day. Young and old. Can we say that now?

Tom Smith

Thank you very much for posting this! "Winchester Cathedral" was an enormous number one hit and played everywhere. It seemed that every Easy Listening singer of the time was singing or recording it as it was the "hip" retro song to perform for awhile. The Lawrence Welk Orchestra performed it many times on their show, and I really like their version and the original by the New Vaudeville Band. It's great to see this! I think they performed it one other time on the Sullivan show as well.

TheJonaco

Incredibly, this song was a Grammy winner for "Best Rock N' Roll" (?!) record. I remember when it came out as well as Allan Sherman's version- "Westchester Hadassah"!
