It's Pickettywitch. I don't know what became of them, but you can get loads of their old stuff on CD now.

they were a manufactured group from the jonathan King stable i think, the blonde guy was the singer who did Gimme Dat Ding in another guise, I should know his name too, he was in several late 60s early 70s pop groups. Graham someone maybe, i can't remember now.

Nope I am thinking of the wrong guy, Tony Burrows was Edison Lighthouse lol

Pickettywitch's lead singer was Polly Brown, who went solo and was also half of the duo Sweet Dreams, who had a top 10 hit with a cover version of Abba's Honey Honey in 1974.

DotH - Tony Burrows was indeed singer for both Edison Lighthouse and Pipkins, who had the hit with Gimme Dat Ding. He was also a vocalist with both Blue Mink and White Plains, leading to a famous occasion in the spring of 1970 when all four bands were in the charts at the same time. Some prankster at Top of the Pops had the bright idea of scheduling them all to appear one after the other, causing Mr Burrows some rapid costume changes and probably a bit of a headache. :-)
