The Scaffold were a mixture of 'pop', poetry and comedy, although they also had
a serious side which was never reflected in their singles.
The Scaffold were one of the most interesting things in British pop - the combination of Mike McGear (Paul McCartney's brother) Scouse beat poet Roger McGough, and enterpreneur John Gorman.
They fused satirical sketches with music hall bawdiness and novelty pop with surrealism.
Songs like 'Thank U Very Much' as well as their other hits like 'Lily The Pink' make sense only when appreciated as part of the absurdist revue that the band purveyed.
