About

GRIMMS were an English pop rock, comedy, and poetry group, originally formed as a merger of The Scaffold with two members of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and the Liverpool Scene for two concerts in 1971 at the suggestion of John Gorman.

Gorman, John (The Scaffold) – vocals
Roberts, Andy (Liverpool Scene and The Scaffold) – vocals, guitar
Innes, Neil (Bonzo Dog Band) – vocals, keyboards, guitar
McGear, Mike (The Scaffold) – vocals, percussion
McGough, Roger (The Scaffold) – vocals, spoken poetry
Stanshall, Vivian (Bonzo Dog Band) – vocals, percussion, brass instruments.
