Product Information

The next day, slowly bring the pan to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the peel is very soft. If you don’t have a sugar thermometer or if you want to be doubly sure of a set, put a couple of small plates in the freezer (see Cherie’s tips, right). Admittedly, a sloppy marmalade is also far from ideal, but that’s a problem you’re far more likely to experience with the home-made version than at the supermarket. This hardness comes from adding too much pectin and acid – all the marmalades I tried contained added ingredients for sourness, generally citric acid or “sour salt” sodium citrate. The title “Rainbow” symbolizes the glimmer of hope and beauty that can be found even in the most challenging times. It serves as a metaphor for the positivity and optimism that Marmalade wants to convey through their music. 11. Has Rainbow been recognized with any awards? Since then, Marmalade have continued to perform as a nostalgia act, playing their old hits and some new material. The current line-up consists of Newman, Alan Holmes (who joined in 1980), John James Newman (Sandy's son, who joined in 2011), Jan Robinson (who joined in 2016), and Chris North (who joined in 2015). They also released a new studio album in 2013, called Penultimate, which featured six new songs and re-recordings of their classics. Ford died on 31 December 2018 at the age of 73 at his home in Los Angeles of complications from Parkinson's disease. His final album, a two-disc collection called This Scottish Heart, was released just weeks before his death.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? Drummer Ray Duffy (who later played with Matthews Southern Comfort and Gallagher and Lyle and also on Campbell's later solo recordings), decided to leave in 1966 to return to Scotland to get married just after their first CBS release, "Its All Leading up to Saturday Night". The band then placed adverts in the New Musical Express and Melody Maker, and after various auditions, former postman Alan Whitehead ex member of London outfit the Loose Ends became their new drummer, debuting on their next single, "Can't Stop Now", which failed to sell despite the group's performing it on a TV play, The Fantasist, [4] written by Alun Owen, for the BBC Two Theatre 625 series. The Gaylords (named after the notorious post war Chicago Gaylords street gang) were originally formed by Pat Fairley and Billy Johnston in Baillieston, a suburb east of Glasgow, in 1961. Their initial line-up included Tommy Frew on drums and lead guitarist Pat McGovern, fronted by vocalist Wattie Rodgers. William Junior Campbell joined on his 14th birthday on 31 May 1961 replacing McGovern, and Rodgers was then himself replaced, initially by two new lead vocalists, Billy Reid and Tommy Scott, although Reid soon departed leaving Scott as the sole frontman. Bill Irving, from local Baillieston group the Cadillacs, then took over from Johnston on bass.

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 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.In 2015, Jan Robinson (vocals, bass) and Chris North (drums, percussion) were brought in as the new rhythm section, in place of Steed and Sawyer. 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.

Campbell became a solo recording artist, songwriter, television and film composer, record producer and music arranger, and lives in Sussex. He continues to oversee all of the master rights to the original band recordings on behalf of the whole band, which they retain, and also their publishing rights. 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. As the years passed, new line-ups followed until Dean Ford was the only original member; by this time, Marmalade was more like Status Quo, but their popularity slipped as music tastes changed. Peter Walsh grabbed the opportunity and used Alan Whitehead and Graham Knight as the basis for a relaunched Vintage Marmalade. Sandy Newman (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Charlie Smith (guitar) made up the new format, and they had a surprise hit with "Falling Apart at the Seams" in 1977. This was the group's last chart success. Marmalade continued with different formations to entertain live audiences.a b c d Roberts, David (2006). British Hit Singles & Albums (19thed.).
