Edwin Braden - musical director on 'Round The Horne', nicknamed 'The Great Hairy Fool' by Kenneth Williams
Cloda Rogers probably needs no introduction, though the addition of a 'g', 'h' and 'd' to her name would probably help.
The Meteors - possibly the group who cut 'Get A Load Of This' for Polydor in 1964 - can't find out much about them, but they appear to be a British band who had a residency in Hamburg

The Meteors - possibly the group who cut 'Get A Load Of This' for Polydor in 1964 - can't find out much about them, but they appear to be a British band who had a residency in Hamburg They appear to have been Scottish (with two lead singers, Billy Jensone and Carol Murray) according to a posting on 45cat. They appeared on Scottish TV's "Dig This!" on 21st August, 1964; but there's no indication as to whether it is likely they would have appeared on the 6-25 Show in 1963 www.45cat.com/record/52263www.78rpm.co.uk/scottish.htm

Regarding The Folk Four - I had an hunch that this might be Scottish entertainer Joe Gordon’s Folk Four. Joe made his name on The White Heather Club and was active on stage right up until his death earlier this year. On checking IMDB I found this entry which seems to back up my original hunch.

Presenter: Jimmy Young Dancers: The Gaybelles Performer: Myrna Robertson Performers: The Young Ones Comedian: Ray Fell Singer: Terry Burton Musicians: The Peter Crawford Trio Musicians: BBC Northern Dance Orchestra Orchestra conducted by: Bernard Herrmann Designer: Jimmie Caffrey Producer: Barney Colehanokay - here is a gem for you. Musicians: The Peter Crawford Trio with Cliff Richard on his show 19 March 1960! ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQAhJJvTC9I&list=PLIdr7UMHywnRyPmvwItmOsLjghj_zAc_m&index=1Comedian: Ray Fell Here is a Missing Episodes Forum devoted entirely to him missingepisodes.proboards.com/thread/4501/ray-fellSinger: Terry Burton remains a mystery - can anyone fathom him? Meanwhile in last week's episode were Musicians: The Embers. Here is an interesting bit involving Alan Bown Alan Bown (born Alan James Bown, 21 July 1942, Slough, Berkshire died 16 December 2014, Slough), a trumpet player, joined The Embers in 1963, when he left the RAF.[1] This group played both American rhythm and blues and jazz, and were a very successful live act, playing at venues like The Star-Club, Hamburg at the same time as The Beatles. Bown left the group to join The John Barry Seven, who were backing Brenda Lee, and toured and recorded with the band until it broke up in 1965; Barry having made Bown the leader of the touring band, so he could spend more time composing. There is a photo of The Embers on 45cat, sorry cannot seem to obtain it! This is the front of their 45 rpm release Chelsea Boots c/w Samantha April 1963, which they may have performed on the 625 Show. Here is a review of both... Both sides are organ-led instrumentals; the B Side very much in the style of The Tornados.

Singer: Terry Burton remains a mystery - can anyone fathom him? Looks like Terry Burton was actually a "her" rather than a "him":
