That's gone for good now Dave. It ran for 12 years and served its purpose in revealing previously lost material: namely live audio recordings and more importantly a lost 'Oh Boy!' show from March 1959.
All these feature in the latest edit of my documentary together with interviews with Jack Good, Cliff Richard, Bruce Welch & Brian Locking of the Shadows, Vince Eager,three of the Vernons Girls and BFI television historian Dick Fiddy. With blind optimism i'll be taking the new edit to the BBC early next year so i can suffer the ignominy of being turned down by them yet again.

Good luck with that one. It sounds like just the sort of interesting documentary I'd like to see (and purchase on DVD) about a fascinating and under-covered subject!

Paul..many thanks for the reply...i suppose the "Know Nothings" at the BEEB/ITV still hate R`n`R......if you have plans for a new site...(hopefully)keep us all updated, the site was a fantastic wealth of material that should be shared with everyone!....keep up the good work...and the fight!

I'm sad to report that Oh Boy's! famous organist Cherry Wainer died at her home in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA on 15th November 2014, aged 78. Cherry appeared in every single show playing on her upholstered Hammond B3 organ and for many decades played the Las Vegas cabaret circuit with her partner, 'Oh Boy!'s drummer Don Storer. Don became blind in later years and Cherry became his carer until his death in 2006.

Hello all, glad to participate on this wonderful forum and hope to find the answers to a few questions and, with luck, to supply a few answers of my own! In case it's of interest I'm pleased to say we've managed to reinstate the Oh Boy! website (without any pop-up adverts!) with a lot of help. I only wish we had news of more found episodes, but hope springs eternal, as they say. The new Oh Boy! website is here, a little biased towards the JB7, I know, but that's my specialist subject. ohboy.org.uk/
