The Scaffold: Reunited – A Celebration: Bristol Slapstick Festival 2023, St Georges, Bristol, 2023

Roger McGough, part of the 60s Liverpool outfit The Scaffold – is a famous poet, broadcaster, children’s author and playwright.  With their blend of comedy, music and poetry, the group had a number of records including Thank U Very Much (which was in the charts the month and year I was born in August 1967) and the number one hit Lily The Pink

Aged 85, McGough appeared on stage with the other members of the group for The Scaffold Reunited – A Celebration at The Bristol Slapstick Festival in February 2023.  Hosted by Harry Hill, the group performing classic sketches and reading wonderful poetry.  It was a wonderful opportunity to see the group come together for one night only which ended of course with a singalong to Lily The Pink.
