A VERY RARE 1959 RELEASE 78 BY THE VIPERS ON UK PARLOPHONE
MAKE READY FOR LOVE
NOTHING WILL EVER CHANGE
It is possibly inevitable that when somebody mentions skiffle music, thoughts immediately turn to the late Lonnie Donegan. It is easy now to forget that Donegan had many rivals and some of the songs we now associate with the king of skiffle were actually introduced by others. Skiffle- with its image of washboards and bass instruments fashioned from tea chests, is also now sometimes dismissed as a crude forerunner to British rock and roll. In fact, despite its rustic image, a lot of early skiffle was also quite sophisticated and was played by skilful jazz musicians. One of the most competent outfits came together as the Vipers under the leadership of Wally Whyton. This was at about the same time that Lonnie Donegan left the Chris Barber band to start his lifetime of skiffle.
The Vipers began playing together as amateurs. Whyton worked in advertising, Martin (guitar) was a coffee bar manager, and Van der Bosch (guitar/ banjo) a wire salesman. Tolhurst (bass) repaired brass instruments for his living and Pilgrim (percussion/ washboard) was a journalist.However, there were many changes during the group's short lifetime and it is known that Tommy Steele, along with future Shadows- Bruce Welch and Hank Marvin can be counted among its ranks at least for a short period while the group held a residency at London's '2 "I"s' coffee bar.
Wally Whyton went on to have a long and successful career in broadcasting and became a familiar commentator on BBC programmes that dealt with folk and country music.
