JUNE 2022<\/h3>\n

Update!<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSaturday 4th June, The Triumphs performed two one hour sets, which included two Joe Meek numbers, Have I The Right and Telstar, at 4pm and 6pm at a street party in Dalmeny Road, Carshalton, Greater London, as part of the neighbourhood\u2019s Queen\u2019s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. We have only just added, Telstar, as it is very nearly the 60th anniversary of the original release of this Joe Meek classic. It was a chart topper on both sides of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n

The band also provided the backing for an old fashioned sing song at 3pm.<\/p>\n

\nThe photo shows the setting up for the Queen\u2019s 90th Birthday celebrations in June 2016. The band also played this event for the Queen\u2019s Diamond Jubilee in June 2012. We are very much looking forward to tomorrow, as it is very likely that this will be the last time the band will be performing at a live event, although more recordings are in the Pipeline. Pardon the pun!
\nThere will be Morris Dancing between 5pm and 6pm, before we commence our second set. Please note that the Morris Dancing will not be performed by us!<\/p>\n

A very enjoyable day and evening! Well done to everybody involved with this event especially Pete and Shy Rochford and members of the Committee of the Joe Meek Society who invested a vast amount of time and energy in organising the event which helped raise nearly \u00a3400 for the Society\u2019s funds.
\nIt was a real pleasure to meet Maurici Ribera Torres who as Craig says showed amazing determination to travel all the way from Barcelona to Newent in Gloucestershire especially for this event. Thank you Maurici!<\/span><\/p>\n

We gave our services free of any fee or expenses and indeed we paid for own accommodation at The George to ensure that all monies raised last Saturday went to the Society.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are privileged to have within the Triumphs\u2019s ranks another Joe Meek recording artiste the very talented and great band member Malcolm Lenny who recorded with Joe with The Packabeats.<\/p>\n
