Songfacts:
Lieutenant Pigeon was a British group of Robert Woodward (piano), Steve Johnson (bass) and Nigel Fletcher (drums). Woodward’s mother Hilda was a piano teacher, and she was also in the band. This is the only UK #1 to feature a mother and her son.
In an interview with New Musical Express, the band’s drummer Nigel Fletcher explained: “Hilda’s front room in Coventry was the scene of the crime. We didn’t use the best equipment – it was recorded on a domestic machine. We find we get a better sound using the front room.”
