The New Vaudeville Band was a group created by songwriter Geoff Stephens in 1966 to record his novelty composition "Winchester Cathedral", a song inspired by the dance bands of the 1920s and a Rudy Vallee megaphone-style vocal. To his surprise, the song became a transatlantic hit that autumn, reaching the Top 10 in the United Kingdom and rising to No. 1 in the United States. The New Vaudeville Band initially was a studio group composed of session players, but Stephens quickly assembled a permanent group to continue recording and to play live shows. The group has been periodically revived since, without Stephens' participation.

Originalversionen av låten "There's a Kind of Hush", som Herman's Hermits året efteråt fick en stor hit med, finns med på debutalbumet. (sv)

  • The New Vaudeville Band è stato un gruppo creato nel 1966 dal compositore londinese Geoff Stephens per poter registrare l'ultima sua composizione "Winchester Cathedral" mettendo insieme un gruppo di session man di varie provenienze e ispirazioni. La "The New Vaudeville Band" venne gestita da Peter Grant mentre Kerr lasciò il gruppo a seguito di controversie con Grant.

  • The New Vaudeville Band was een Britse studiogroep, geformeerd in 1966 door om de door hem geschreven single Winchester Cathedral op te nemen. Het nummer werd een grote hit en belandde onder andere in de Verenigde Staten en Groot-Brittannië op de eerste plaats. Stevens was tevens de producer van de plaat. De studiogroep bestond uit verschillende sessiemuzikanten. De zanger was waarschijnlijk van Ivy League, al wordt er ook wel beweerd dat het de zanger was of Geoff Stevens zelf. Er is moeilijk uit te maken wie de werkelijke zanger was, omdat de zangpartij door een megafoon werd opgenomen. (nl)
