Can anyone shed any light on the group zigzag ,who are listed on the toppop dvds ,singing a song called The bump in 1975,ive found out that they recorded on the magnet record label,so im presuming they are from the uk ,but i cant find out any more info on the group,does anyone know if they were all girls ,or did the group include male members as well,any info would be very welcome,many thanks.

I'm sure this is the same song that Alvin Stardust did on his first album, it's not the Kenny song. It got renamed "Keep On Bumping" to avoid confusion.
Pretty sure it was a male singer, maybe mixed 'dancers' also.
Hope that helps

Thanks mark for your reply ,i was thinking it was another recording of the kenny song ,so thanks for clarifying the info of the song,im wondering if zig-zag who recorded the song ,were the same group who danced on granadas pop show 45 during 1974,pheraps they branched out and recorded a single as well as being dancers,id love to find out if it is the same group,dont know how to check if it is ,anyway thanks once again mark.

The b.side features female vocals so I think there may be a possibility it's the same dance troupe that appeared on Granada tv.
By the way Jerry, which TopPop DVD are Zigzag meant to be on? I have all 8 volumes here and they are not listed on any of them?

Jerry, you say "avros toppop compilation dvd says zigzag performance is on the dvd is from shows 15+32+36". Which compilation DVD is that? None of the 8 officially released TopPop DVDs include the Zigzag performance I'm afraid.

Well that is Guy Lutman in the middle so this proves they did record and promote a single. Thanks Paul.

Dutch company AVRO who produced Toppop have had their Youtube account closed due to multiple copyright infringements!.
