Talk:The Tremeloes

Untitled
Apparently the Fentones started life as the Tremeloes (see Alvin Stardust's official site, linked to from his Wikipedia entry - look at the Shane Fenton page). Does anybody know if this is just coincidence? If they were two separate bands (which seems likely) they would both have been around at the same time, and as neither had presumably become nationally known before the name change to the Fentones, there was presumably no dispute over the name. Does anybody if this is right or not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.50.162.251 (talk) 14:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

"As a soloist, Poole failed to chart with subsequent records, but pursued a successful cabaret career. In 1996 his daughters Karen and Shellie hit the charts as post-Alanis Morissette popsters Alisha's Attic. " Huh? Alanis Morissette has a pop era defined unto herself? This is one of the oddest statements I have ever seen. I think it should be removed, as it makes little sense - the article about Alisha's Attic doesn't even reference Alanis as an influence - so unless Alanis Morissette ushered in some world-shifting change in music (which isn't alluded to in her article, either) I think this should go.


 * Yes, good point, and now done. Please sign your comments. Four tildes (4x~) is all it takes. Thank you.

If you're going to put that a member was born in "Bournemouth Hampshire NOW Dorset" why arent you putting for members born in Dagenham and Bromley born in "Essex/Kent but now Greater London"? not very logical the way it is —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.161.116 (talk) 12:35, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:B00064VL26.01. SCLZZZZZZZ .jpg
Image:B00064VL26.01. SCLZZZZZZZ .jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"Were?"
The band appears to in fact still be together with two original members, and gigs have been scheduled through 2010. Someone (maybe me) needs to redo the band history. Timothy Horrigan (talk) 01:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, the majority of the 1960s UK beat groups still exist as performing acts, to cater for the nostalgia circuit. The line-ups are often fairly fluid, and some of the acts are more true to the originals than others. Verifiable information is the key - as ever. Be bold.

compound blunders
"However, the move was a blunder only in light of The Beatles' subsequent greatness." Stupendous logic there!--71.15.153.192 (talk) 11:16, 27 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, not the best edit wording - this is now removed, and the entire article expanded with numerous references. It is hopefully much improved, but feel free to add more referenced text if you can.

Norman Stanley huh? St.Clair
The Tremeloes released "Norman Stanley Jones St.Clair" in late 1966 or early 1967. It was immediately overshadowed by Here Comes My Baby and Silence is Golden. Confusion surrounds the title itself as the lyrics suggest "Norman Stanley James St.Clair" and some sources specify that title.

Words
In the single discography it says that T recorded a song called "Words" and that the composers were the Gibb brothers in Bee Gees. However this was a totally different song. I think the songwriter was F. R. David, but I'm not sure. 204.104.55.243 (talk) 12:11, 5 June 2009 (UTC)


 * You are correct, and the article has been amended accordingly. Thank you,

Alan Blakley or Alan Blakely?
Both versions are used throughout the article. His daughter seems to go fairly consistently by the name Blakley.

(Also, using 'born' when giving a full name is extremely misleading, because it implies that a person has in some way renounced his middle or precursory name.)

 * On the 1963 album "Twist and Shout with Brian Poole and the Tremeloes" he is listed as Alan Blakely. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 14:59, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Spelling mistake
This article says that the name "Tremeloes" was soon changed because of a spelling mistake in a local paper, but does not clarify what this mistake was. Vorbee (talk) 08:37, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Rick West/Westwood
It’s confusing having both surnames in the narrative. I found myself wondering who “West” is, as there’s no mention of that name in the infobox. Boscaswell  talk  06:22, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Keith Nylene / Tommy Harbrook or John Beveridge / Pete Oakman?
It says in this article that the song 'Twist Little Sister' was written by Keith Nylene and Tommy Harbrook. This is the first time I've ever seen this information. But on multiple other sites, it says that the song was written by John Beveridge and Pete Oakman. Since there are numerous sites that support both statements, and since this song doesn't have its own article, I'm having a hard time verifying which is correct. Is there anyone that can verify whether the song was written by Keith Nylene and Tommy Harbrook? Or if it was written by John Beveridge and Pete Oakman? ― C.Syde  ( talk  |  contribs ) 23:45, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
