The Swinging Bluejeans
at Ready, Steady, Go!

By Bill Harry

 

May 1 1964

The Bluejeans, firmly established as one of the leading groups in the country, regularly receive a great deal of television promotion.

We went along to see the boys perform their current hit at the Ready, Steady, Go! studios and discovered that they really put a lot of hard work into their rehearsal.

Arriving in the early afternoon, the Bluejeans spent several hours in the studios before the programme was screened live - and the show went on the air without a hitch.

However, the boys weren't too happy about miming: "We'd sooner perform live - we really hate miming," said RALPH ELLIS, "however, I believe that Ready, Steady, Go! are planning to scrap the idea of artists miming to their discs."

Ralph, incidentally, will be writing an article on this topic in a future issue of Mersey Beat.
