I have a feeling Reg Guest went on to production or arranging duties on some later 60s pop singles. I think Simon Mclean of this parish may be able to put me right on that... Steve
Now this is interesting - having been inspired by having my name mentioned here (it's like the bat signal), I did a bit of looking things up, and it appears there may be two Reg Guests! One of them being the pianist, arranger, conductor which Steve mentions who worked with a number of big names on record, as well as acting as musical director on the Price Of Fame TV series with George Fame and Alan Price, and recording a much sought-after LP with his Syndicate (which I'm still much seeking after) called 'Underworld'. He seems to have disappeared from the scene at some point in the late 70s. However, I think the Reg Guest Trio pictured in a previous post is a different Reg Guest, this one being a guitarist from Sutton who died in 2018 - there's an obit of him here: www.chad.co.uk/news/family-and-friends-pay-tribute-sutton-legend-reginald-guest-he-could-make-his-guitar-talk-552296 - which mentions him playing with Jimmy Young, which I suspect could be a reference to his work on 6.25. So based on the flimsiest of evidence (the ages are different, one plays guitar, one plays piano, they look a bit different in the photos I've seen), these are two different Reg Guests, and I think it's the guitarist one on 6.25 - but I could be wrong!

BBC The 625 Show 6.25 - 6.50 pm
Presenter: Jimmy Young Musicians:Joe Brown & The Bruvvers Musicians:The Folk Four Singer:Shirley Jackson Singers:The Esquires Singer:Johnny Towers
An all singing - musical edition this week. Joe Brown & The Bruvvers need no introduction. Yet that still leaves the other 4 to research and find out about. Over to you to see what you may come up with about The Folk Four, Shirley Jackson, The Esquires and Johnny Towers. Photos would be good too, if possible.

That NNE poll winners show is superb. They had middle aged blokes in long coats a la Monty Python coming on to change the dodgy equipment,especially the inadequate mic stands which could not cope with the bouncing stage!

Musicians The Original Checkmates Emile Ford's old backing band, featuring Alan Hawkshaw on keyboards - they had two Joe Meek-produced singles out in 1963, though as they're billed here as 'The Original Checkmates', this is probably around the time of the excellent Hawkshaw original 'The Spy'.

Announcement
There will be a slight delay in this week's line-up for Episode 23 Tuesday 4th June 1963.
An unusual phenomenon has occurred in that a duplication has appeared in the Radio Times for Tuesday 4th June and Tuesday 9th July. BBC Archives have been
contacted and well done to them for their take on this ...
Certainly the two editions are billed identically in Radio Times. I have called up the paperwork to see whether than explains what happened, but I think the
most likely explanation is that either another edition of The 625 Show or another programme altogether was broadcast on 4 June 1963. The programme was pre-
recorded either way, and I will be able to tell from the paperwork when it was recorded, as well as what was transmitted on 4 June.

Reply from the BBC re 4th June 1963 ...
The 625 Show was not broadcast on 4 June 1963, the edition was simply postponed to 9 July.
On 4 June there was a programme called “Rome: The Procession to St Peters” was shown in the slot on 4 June instead.
....................
Meantime now back to continuing the thread ...
