By godivarocks on July 7, 2020

Peppermint Circus used an ex-Airport double-decker bus painted black, white and orange.They had it fitted with beds, lights, heating and a cooker.
Group members included bass guitarist Alan Tallis from Solihull, Paul Thomas, vocalist, James Curtis, the vocalist/songwriter, Clive Hartley from Coventry … he played the first time on a television programme “LIFT OFF” when their previous organist dropped out suddenly, drummer Paul Langer and Barry Naylor. Peppermint Circus had a big hit with “One Thing Could Lead to Another” – in Holland it reached no. 9 in the hit parade. Other hits included “Let me go”, arranged and produced by Mike Batt, and “School Days” They released 5 singles [Polydor/A&M label] between April 1968 and January 1970.
