Charted - U.K.

The Scaffold’s “Lily the Pink” reached #1 in the UK in 1968

A “McCartney” in the band…

Built on an old music-hall melody and the comic legend of a miracle-medicine maker

I have a Scaffold fetish. 🤷‍♂️
Great albums

Born 7 January 1944 - Mike McGear, singer and brother of Paul McCartney. He was a founding member of The Scaffold, who had the 1968 Christmas UK No.1 single 'Lily The Pink' (about the very famous 'medicinal compound') and a top 5 hit with "Thank U Very Much." #MikeMcGear #TheScaffold

A big Happy Birthday to Mike McCartney, AKA Mike McGear, singer, songwriter, poet and photographer, born #OTD in 1944.

Mike loved his Scimitars, including a GT, GT V6 and GTE. Main photo, with his GT in 1966 (📸 Hulton).

I’m already my future corpse.
Only a dream links me to myself –
The hazy and belated dream
Of what I should have been – a wall

#LilyThePink by #TheScaffold

One from my childhood. The Scaffold were, R to L, #MikeMcGear, #PaulMcCartney's brother, comedian #JohnGorman #Tiswas and poet #RogerMcGough.

Tiswas was an amazing Saturday morning TV show, which I watched with a hangover

‘Thursday is shepherds pie, is everybody happy? You bet your life we are.’ #TheScaffold

But there are many for this theme and I suddenly thought of another childhood song which had been recorded well before I was born but definitely hung around after making it, even reaching no1 for Christmas in 1968: “Lily The Pink” by #TheScaffold - who remembers this one?!
