Hosted by:

Originally aired:

Jack O'Hara (ex-Eggs Over Easy) joins WMBR's Three Ring Circus, Friday April 6 at 5pm. O'Hara, will be performing and talking about his current musical endeavors as well as sharing stories of those Tally Ho days and his adventures in Cambridge, MA. Perhaps he'll even take us to the scene of the crime. "Historically renowned as the band which launched the entire British pub rock scene, the all-American Eggs over Easy originally arrived in the U.K. to cut a record with producer Chas Chandler in 1970. Sessions at Olympic Studios went well, but escalating problems with the group's American backers, Cannon Films, saw the project run aground in the new year and the group moved onto the live circuit while they sought a new deal. They played a number of college gigs around the country, but it was at the Tally Ho pub in London's Kentish Town neighborhood, just around the corner from the band's communal home, that they made their reputation -- and forged an entire new musical movement... members of Brinsley Schwarz were early admirers, frequently attending the band's Tally Ho dates and often joining them onstage -- before long, Brinsley Schwarz, too, was concentrating their attention on the pub circuit."
