        The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band often used to mention him, and named an album after Keynsham

            My memories of the Big L are of me at boarding school with a tranny in my bunk.

            The evening's entertainment always went on under my pillow so that the prefects couldn't hear.

            Emperor Rosco was a favourite.

            By the way, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

                  I always thought it was them who did "Flying saucers over Yatton". Was wrong, was Stackridge by all accounts.

                  I seem to recall that Viv Stanshaw lived on a boat in Bristol & died a few years back when he fell asleep with a fag in his mouth and set fire to it.

                    Not sure if he ever lived on a boat in Bristol, but Viv died in his flat in Muswell Hill, although you're right about the fag

                    I've just been chatting to my friend John Halsey, who was a good friend of Viv's for many years. He's told me a number of amusing stories about him. Yet Viv was rather a tragic figure in the end. John says that Viv's preferred indulgence was Valium and brandy, which isn't a good combination if you also smoke in bed

                    John's also told me that he was drummer for the recording of a third Sir Henry Rawlinson album. Although it was completed, Viv then just sat on the tapes for several years as he couldn't face the hassle of releasing a new album and all the having-to-be-organised that would come with promoting it. As far as John knows, the tapes were destroyed in the fire in which Viv died.
