Mouldy Old Dough - Lieutenant Pigeon



"Lieutenant Pigeon was a British group of Robert Woodward (piano), Steve Johnson (bass) and Nigel Fletcher (drums). Woodward's mother Hilda was a piano teacher, and she is also the piano player in this song. This is the only UK #1 to feature a mother and her son. I like "Mouldy Old Dough" with Lieutenant Pigeon." -- from the comments

"In an interview with New Musical Express the band's drummer Nigel Fletcher explained: "Hilda's front room in Coventry was the scene of the crime. We didn't use the best equipment - it was recorded on a domestic machine. We find we get a better sound using the front room.""

"Written by Nigel Fletcher and Rob Woodward and produced by Woodward and Fletcher under the name of their other band Stavely Makepeace, Mouldy Old Dough was one of the more unusual number one singles of the 1970's."
