The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band (also known as The Bonzo Dog Band, The Bonzo Dog Dada Band and, colloquially, as "The Bonzos") are a band created by a group of British art-school denizens of the 1960s. Combining elements of music hall, trad jazz, psychedelic rock, and avant-garde art, the Bonzos came to the attention of a broader British public through a 1968 ITV comedy show, Do Not Adjust Your Set.


This band have made some belting records, "I'm The Urban Spaceman" was a hit, they are an aquired taste but give them a listen they are very good, picked up their latest odffering the other day and it is fine, bits of Jazz and well everything really :)



Feel free to add comments and more music stories etc...etc

Re: The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band

I've got Viv Stanshall's Sir Henry at Rawlinson End on vinyl, but it's not as good as the radio sessions. I've tried to find copies, but no luck so far.

If you like the Bonzos, you may like Alberto Y Los Trio Paranoias or Bob Calvert's Captain Lockheed.
