TORONTONY Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Many years ago at the Black Swan I saw a pro looking film camera rolling at a performance by the then Four Mimes ( called Discoes later ) doing Bridget The Midget, the funny Ray Stevens tune. Don't know if it was a personal home movie or what, or if it was a promotion by the guys. There were no home video recorders or camcorders at that time. I guess only any living member of the group would know anything about this, however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Harrington Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Hi Ive recently been doing some research into a club act that my Dad used to be in and came across this forum? He was in the 4 Mimes. Id like to know about this act and its members as I have little knowledge of them as I was a small child at the time, I’m now 40, but I’m led to believe they were great? I can remember watching a VHS video when I was like 7 of my Dad spinning around an inflatable guitar, that’s about it basically. He never really talks about his Club circuit years, but I’ve run into a few people recently that remember him and the group and have said they were very popular and could pack out a venue? This has intrigued me to find out more? Ive also seen that some believe he passed away? I can tell you now William (Bill) Harrington is alive and well. Any information or videos would be greatly received. Thanks My Dad lived on Jenkins until 81. I was 2 at the time and my mum was expecting my sister. We moved to Aston. We all still live in the village too this date That’s in reply to Makapakas question about who lived on Jenkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padders Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 If you click on google and type. "The discoes the greatest comedy act in clubland" You can watch their final performance at Firth Park WMC. 2nd of July 2000. I've tried to post it on here, but can't manage to do it... just thought it might interest someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody's Granddad Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I remember the Discos from the 70s and would regally see them in the Pitsmoor club. There was the bald one with hair on each side, he was the one with his head through the curtain doing Bridget the Midget and the one with Ginger hair doing his Bing Crosby impression with the pipe in his mouth and there was a 3rd guy. I cannot remember the 4 mimes but I do know you had to be in the club for 6.30 to get a seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
