A great talent and a lovely lady R I.P. Twinkle!

Twinkle was sadly underrated; it was a great shame when she quit the business after only a couple of years as she had a fine voice. Sadly she passed far too soon.

I knew Fiona Wallace when we were background artists (Extras) on films back in the 90s such as "First Night" , a lovely girl. Wherever you are Fiona, I never forgot you... Gary x

Twinkle i had the pleasure of meeting at a family function, Every inch a lady ,and a beautiful person, her Husband, Graham my relative, a top model, although never as gorgeous as me, hahaha, is still scrapping on like a soldier, lot,s of love to Graham and his Mum Great Aunt Gladys,xxx

I loved her songs. Very sad to hear she has gone.

Good to see her still enjoying a singalong !!! and Good to see The Four Pennies still at it too!!!!

She still had a good singing voice in her 60's.

Twinkle through her elder sister (a journalist for teen magazines) Lynn began to meet pop musicians. One of them, Dec Cluskey, of the Irish vocal group the Bachelors, recommended Twinkle to his manager. This resulted in her making a recording of her composition Terry, on which she was accompanied by session musicians including guitarist Jimmy Page, the future Led Zeppelin star. Her second husband was the actor who played the man in black on the Cadbury milk tray adverts. She passed away at the age of 66.

RIP Lynn. You gonna be missed.....♥

wow! so cool see her singing again.

Nice rendition of Be My Baby which was originally a hit for the Ronettes in the 1960s.

So very sad to lose such a lovely woman, far to young to leave us.

Twinkle never ages; she simply endures - like Marianne Faithful or Mary Weiss. There is something very special about a woman who can grow up without growing old.

Not a wig. Real hair. Lovely bloke.

Twinkle used to date Dec McCuskey from the Bachelors , it was hushed up cos she was only 15 at the time, he put her in touch with Peter Soloman from Decca records that's how she got to record "Terry", I recall the pirate radio stations Caroline and Radio London used to play it all the time..

There are better examples of Twinkle, elsewhere on KZfaq. It's all very well to idly play retrospective judge and jury from the safety of a keyboard. For those who are interested, however, Twinkle, far from being untalented, as one correspondent suggests below, was unique, in that she actually wrote much of her own material -- and from a very early age. This was in an era, where women singers simply didn't do that sort of thing. If you ever get a chance to listen to some of her own songs, most of which were written in her teens and early twenties, you may be surprised at just how good she was -- and original. Artistes are not always responsible for the things which people post up on KZfaq, years, or sometimes decades later. Johnny Fame is a tricky customer as we say. Twinkle, for whom fame came rather early, had a bit of a rough time of it, including losing the love of her life during the mid 1970s . Morrissey's a big fan, and so, for what it's worth, am I. Interested listeners may want to check out her Best Of or her Michael Hannah Lost Years album.

It is actually real hair not a wig...I should know, I am the drummer in this footage and was a member of The Four Pennies for 10 years. A lot people at our shows asked me if it was a wig, Mike just likes having his hair in this style. He was the only member of the band who wasn't losing his hair.

Lynn was a lovely lass, modest and talented. Wrote some lovely songs too.. not hers, but her So Sad was a classic..

Whoever cut that guys hair..that is "the pudding basin cut"

Why all the snide comments? This is live "entertainment" - not the manufactured rap/crap/god knows what we have to endure as music now.

TO ANN TWO SHOES: Ann I don't actually know, because, much as I adore this woman's work, I stop short of actually stalking her. I understand she had a breakdown of sorts, about Michael Hannah, the model whom she loved so much, and who having left her, died in a plane crash in France in '75, I think it was. She married another model / actor and so far as I know had children. She's surfaced sporadically on various records during the 70s and 80s. At some point, during the early 90s, she was in a band briefly with Fiona Wallace doing some kind of 60s holiday camp package. She also appeared on an edition of Never Mind the Buzzcocks, which is elsewhere on KZfaq. She looked well and happy I think she that she was/ is in essence, a rather good songwriter, possibly unsuited to the various toxicities of greater fame -- as a number of us who've had music biz experience will understand. Wherever she is I hope she's well and happy. .

To Orange Fuzz That was the Beer Elves. But it's nice that you know the song or indeed any of them. My late mum liked that one, too.. Poor Twinkle though. That one's really got to me, I'm afraid. I genuinely loved Twinkle's songs. Perfectly imperfect. All my favourite women are leaving the party lately.. I did actually write a song about her a couple of years ago.. It was on an album called The Late District. .

Twinkle is pretty good!

She still looks beautiful. real talent. LOL .

I love that she just gets her ear-piece in after the start!

RIP Twinkle

Twinkle as assisting Fiona Wallace as she did most of the lead singing

💖💖💖💖💖💖

I do believe she used to date Peter Noone.

I cant stop watching this its so good

Used to love twinkle

I really do not know why people make these negative remarks, if you do not like it, move on.

What year was this & how many "originals" were in the band at this time?

Miss S at the library looks like she might as well be a member of the ronettes

fiona wallace and the four pennies

if she had McCartney to write her songs back in her day she would not be a one hit wonder She had the great 60's look before there was a 60's look. Sometimes things are never meant to be.

Who are these guys in the Four Pennies and who was in the original line up.

All very very odd!

Great comment about Frankie Howard's hair-piece, made me laugh out loud! I always wondered where it went, glad it found a good home and is still working. Love the 4 Pennies, not sure about this bit, was Twinkle singing at all? What happened to Lionel Morton?

Awesome

Can anyone actually hear Twinkle singing on this?

15 7 48 .....21 5 15......rip

fought liver cancer for 5yrs died i think at 66 far to young

Great

I think somehow this works...not too sure why..but its cute..

BTW Twinkle was Fay Ripley's aunt...

Syrup and fig alert on the bass player's noggin!

great

maybe one original the man whos talking

Goodnight Twinkle.

whos this fiona wallace shes a great singer with a great voice never heard of hear she sings be my baby great

who the hell is fiona wallace ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? shes got a voice

God bless her

is that a syrup of fig i wonder ?or just a healthy head of hair

Is Twinkle still performing?

Yes.......well. I remember all of them in the day, but this performance is just a little sad, very much a amateur pub performance. I'd rather have remembered them when they were stars. Anyone want to listen to a good tune? check out "Miss Bad Daddy" a b side, maybe on "juliet" by the Four Pennies.

nice syrup of fig mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm who the hells fiona wallace ?

fiona wallace with the twinkling eyes mmmmmmmmmmm and is that a hat ? was twinkles mike switched on ? mmmmmm

It's s shame that Mike introduced Twinkle by listing her hits then she came on and sang a cover song.

What on earth have you got on your head Mick.

It's a shame that Twinkle doesn't sing the song herself with without her back up singer and the band members. has she lost her voice?

What has that guy got on his head ? it looks like something he pinched from Frankie Howard !!

So sad

she did do the lead vocal... what a shame

don't give up you're day job

'supports' Twinkle?!, she sings for Twinkle!. That grovelling penny is an example of the sycophantic slop poured onto the undeserving, in this case Twinkle, no talent in the 60s has not cultivated any since, who did she know ...or yes?.

There is a desperation in some parts of the UK where gigs descend to the lowest common denominator. Name bands/artists will do anything to get punters through the door no matter what. In this case you have Lionel Morton (ex-Playschool presenter) lead singer of the Four Pennies a band hardly anyone remembers introducing a backing singer who does the main vocal on a cover with Twinkle doing backing vocals! It does beggar belief but that's money for you. It pulls the strings and humiliates many of us musicians in public. Apart from the awful rugrat on his bonse, I have to say that Twinkle was a customer who came through my delicatessen when I worked at the supermarket. We had cheap meat pieces at 20p a £. That's what she ordered, wreaking of Tweed perfume and she always called me darling. There was a sadness to her life. I am only writing this now because on the radio this morning, a certain, Fay Ripley was being interviewed.

Is that a wig or what?

Yes it is a cringeworthy intro. Thank goodness for Fizz. Whats with the cups and ear plugs. Thought twink would been better prepared.

Wheres my comment gone ?

One word "awful".

Unfortunately, she had no stage presence, behaving like a schoolgirl doing karaoke, which wasn't helped by an appalling rambling introduction by the bloke with the deceased fox cub on his head.

Apart from that long. boring and embarrassing introduction this is great. Twinkle singing my fa vourite song of that era.

Awful introduction and I was hoping Twinkle was actually going to sing the lead. It seems Fiona was covering for her?

Looks to me like Fiona Wallace is taking over this show and Twinkle is just backing her. Fair enough - Twinkle couldn't sing anyway.

Absolute Rubbish

The intro was truly cringeworthy!

Worst wig ever.lol

agree crap crap
