The Barron Knights are a British humorous pop/rock group, originally formed in 1959 in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, as the Knights of the Round Table. They started out as a straight pop group, and spent a couple of years touring and playing in English dance halls before making their way to Hamburg, Germany. Bill Wyman, later of the Rolling Stones, has written that the Barron Knights were the first group he saw with an electric bass, at a performance in Aylesbury in July 1961, inspiring him to take up the instrument. In 1963, at the invitation of Brian Epstein, they were one of the support acts at the Beatles' Christmas shows at the Finsbury Park Astoria in London, and later became one of the few acts to tour with both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Their debut single was "Let's Face It" / "Never Miss Chris", released in 1962 by Fontana Records (H.368). They also made their debut on BBC Television in that year, performing on the children's programme Let's Go!. More information...
