I have just discovered that Pauline Moran who played Miss Lemon in the Poirot series used to play bass guitar in sixties girl band, She Trinity. There is a photograph of the band with Pauline holding a Burns bass.

I do remember The She Trinity, though I've never seen an episode of "Poirot".

If I remember accurately, they had a minor hit with a version of The Bobby Fuller Four's I Fought The Law in the late spring of 1966. I see the guitar-playing She is shown with a black Les Paul Custom on that record sleeve. At the time, the Les Paul was unobtainable new and was sought-after as much as gold dust. I'm fairly sure that She played a (white) Gibson SG Custom in '66 (which might even have been marked with the Les Paul name).

What a blast from the past.

On a similar tack, wasn't one of the Paper Dolls (a year or two later) a DJ on Piccadilly Radio in Manchester?

PS: Is Miss Lemon a playing piece in Cluedo?

I HAVE seen Poirot and am fascinated at the thought of the prim Miss Lemon rocking away on a Burns bass on a cover of I Fought The Law, although I don't remember their version of it!

Miss Lemon ought to be a Cluedo character, given her employer's profession. The whole game is very Agatha Christi-esque, if theat's a word (and even if it's not)

Yes, former Paper Doll Suzy Mathis did join Piccadilly. Just as Annie Nightingale was the first female DJ on the BBC, so, I think, Suzy was the first woman DJ on independent radio. Am I right? Something here, (here!), here in my heart keeps telling me No ...

Where's my coat?

This photograph shows her more clearly.

Ah the Paper dolls. Not my first ever fancy ,but certainly my long term ones!!
