Ken Mackintosh - The Creep ( 1954 ) video free download

Ian James Munro

A classic of its time. I love the modulation about 55 seconds in. Thanks to Midsomer Murders for introducing me to this great tune 

Alan Procter

My Grandfather drummed for Ken Mackintosh and Ted Heath in his younger days, he has some great stories from those times aha.

We also had safety in those days. Many a night I walked from the Elephant to Peckham having missed a late bus. Great dancing at the Locano Streatham, The Lycium Strand, Cafe De Paris Coventry Street, and the Hammersmith Palaise. Even the Co-op dance hall in Rye Lane was safe. The great bands at The Flamingo in Wardour Street and the Marque in Oxford Street. (Yes I was a modern jazz fan, Tubby Hayes, Ronnie Scott etc.)

One of my all-time favourites by a great band.

Great memories of.........The Streatham Locarno, Embassy Welling etc. In 1 month at The Embassy we saw Ken Macintosh, The Ted Heath Band and The Johnny (not John!) Dankworth Seven and The Kirchin Band. Ronnie Scott followed shortly thereafter. Ken played The Creep to great acclaim as we slouched around the ballroom (Teddy Boys included). Those indeed were the days!

Frank Osborne

Brings it all back............ Teddy Boys, Wimbledon Palais, Streatham Locano, bomb sites, the ritual of a Sunday roast lunch and great music like this pumping out of old bakelite radios. We had less but had more....

Brian Cleverley

Working as a telegram boy, a six day week and handing all of it over it meant nowt to me. Mind you, i did enjoy 'Up The Pole'

I remember this from my early teens. It was associated with the Teddy Boys. Britain had some outstanding big bands and musicians at the time and dance halls for them to perform in. The pop music of my youth.

Seth Pittham

Having played in Kens bamd, this brings back memories. Tune written on a Sunday morning by ken and Dong Lang (Gordon Langhorn, 6 5 Special fame)
