Some had hard peel – a cardinal sin that all marmalade makers know comes from insufficient boiling of the fruit before adding sugar. But most of the jars were plagued with another problem: too firm a set, so the marmalade was hard and grainy. In 1975, Knight linked up with former drummer Alan Whitehead to form 'Vintage Marmalade' with Sandy Newman (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Charlie Smith (guitar). They were reunited with their old manager, Peter Walsh, to play all the hits on stage and had a full date sheet. [2] They released their first single as Marmalade, 'It's All Leading Up to Saturday Night', which failed to chart. However, they soon found success with their next single, 'I See the Rain', which was praised by Jimi Hendrix as the best cut of 1967. The band still exists, with many additional further evolved lineups including vocalist Sandy Newman, a member since 1975, touring the nostalgia circuit.

The group began gathering notice and in 1963 Fairley and Campbell spotted Thomas McAleese, singer with local group the Monarchs, at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow, and it was not long before he replaced Scott as lead singer. McAleese then adopted the stage moniker Dean Ford, and they then became known as Dean Ford and The Gaylords. Raymond Duffy, from Glasgow group the Escorts, then came in on drums after Frew departed. For a few months, they had an organist, Davey Hunter. By early 1965, Graham Knight, from the local group the Vampires, had displaced Irving on bass. Whitehead left the band in 1978 to manage other pop groups and singers, which he has continued to do. He also appeared in the 2010 TV series Take Me Out and ran a lap dance club.

But while there’s a nice fruit smell with hints of caramel, and the flavour is a good fruity-bitter it’s set much too hard and grainy. M&S Seville Orange Marmalade, Fine Cut

While Rainbow may not have received any specific awards, its enduring popularity and impact on listeners are testaments to its significance in the music industry. 12. How has Rainbow impacted its listeners? the boys formed a band in the early sixties. Junior Campbell (instrumentalist, vocalist), Pat Fairley (bass guitar), Billy Johnson (bass), and Tommy Frew (drums) became the Gaylords and played at local clubs. Later, Bill Irving and Raymond Duffy replaced Billy Johnson and Tommy Frew, respectively, and the quintet’s format was complete when Thomas McAleese (Dean Ford) joined them as the singer. Dean Ford and the Gaylords became one of Scotland’s most popular groups but, like many others in the early 60s, had little chance to get a recording contract. The group regularly supported visiting acts and were regulars on BBC Radio Scotland, but real success failed them despite their undoubted popularity within Scotland. Eventually, they were signed by EMI-Columbia in 1964. Their debut single "Twenty Miles" sold well in Scotland but failed to chart nationally. The cheaper brands start at around 11p per 100g, so there’s a huge saving to be had. One way these save on cost, though, is by using a high proportion of glucose-fructose syrup rather than sugar. This sweetener, also known as high-fructose corn syrup, is generally considered to be A Bad Thing, and one of the factors behind the worldwide rise in obesity and diabetes. But hey, it’s cheaper than sugar. At 20 per cent, you can’t expect much in the way of flavour, so the producers have a battery of boosters in their cupboard, including concentrated orange juice, orange purée and orange oil – none of which features in recipes for home-made marmalade as a rule. If you don’t have time to make marmalade while seville oranges are in season you can freeze them. But when you defrost them to make the marmalade, add another lemon to the recipe as freezing reduces the pectin levels (pectin makes the marmalade set).

Yes, Marmalade has performed Rainbow live throughout their career. The song continues to captivate audiences as it is delivered with the same passion and emotion as the original recording. 10. What is the significance of the song’s title, Rainbow? Rainbows have always been symbolic of healing, transformation, and new beginnings. In the song, the rainbow represents a glimmer of hope amidst a storm, reminding us that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. The lyrics explore the idea that even during our darkest moments, there is a silver lining waiting to be discovered. By embracing the beauty of the rainbow, we can find solace and strength to carry on.In February 1969, the band appeared on the BBC's flagship program Colour Me Pop, (precursor to The Old Grey Whistle Test) performing a halfhour slot. They also appeared on the BBC's review of the 1960s music scene, Pop Go The Sixties, performing "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" live on the broadcast on BBC 1 on New Year's Eve 1969. Graham Knight remained as the sole original band member touring the nostalgia circuit with Newman, Smith and Alan Holmes. In 1982, Glenn Taylor replaced Smith on drums, though Smith returned from 1989 to around 1998, before Taylor took over permanently. Marmalade was a hard-working band and getting more and more exposure and winning the admiration of fellow artists such as Jimi Hendrix. The group persevered and their two bass players gave them a unique sound. Their next single "Can't Stop Now" (with Alan Whitehead as the group’s drummer) did well in the US, getting to number one on some Statecharts. However, chart success was not forthcoming, and they were all but ready to give up when in 1968, they recorded "Lovin' Things." The single sold well and gave the group their first UK hit. Marmalade's breakthrough came in 1968, when they covered the Beatles' song 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da' and took it to the top of the UK charts. Fairley also moved to Los Angeles in the late 1970s having worked in music publishing for the RSO Group Robert Stigwood and for the band Yes. He retired from the music business many years ago and set up a bar and music venue called The Scotland Yard Pub, in Los Angeles in the early 1980s: he sold the business in March 2018 and retired. He died at his home in Los Angeles on 11 August 2020, at the age of 76. [14]
