Lord Rockingham's XI

Lord Rockingham's XI was a group of British session musicians, led by Harry Robinson, who had a No. 1 hit on the UK Singles Chart in 1958 with "Hoots Mon". The group was created to perform as the resident band on the pop TV programme Oh Boy!, which was produced by Jack Good, and shown nationally on Britain's ITV network during 1958/59. They were fronted by Harry Robinson and also included jazz baritone saxophonist Benny Green, and organist Cherry Wainer. Other members were Wainer's husband Don Storer, Reg Weller, Red Price, Rex Morris, Cyril Reubens, Ronnie Black, Bernie Taylor, Eric Ford. Joining the group later were Kenny Packwood and Ian Fraser. In addition to backing singers such as Marty Wilde and Cuddly Dudley, they recorded several novelty rock instrumentals for Decca Records, the first being "Fried Onions", which failed to chart in the UK but did slip into the US Billboard charts for a week at No. 96.
