About The Grumbleweeds
The Grumbleweeds story started in Leeds in 1962, when the group was first formed by Robin Colvill and Graham Walker. The spent the next few years undertaking the usual round of clubs and pubs in their native Yorkshire and overseas engagements in Germany, following in on the footsteps of bands such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. They turned fully professional in 1967, following an appearance on television's 'Opportunity Knocks'. They went onto appear on 'Max Bygraves Meets New Faces' courtesy of Johnny Hamp who nearly twenty years later masterminded their popular TV series ambiguously titled 'The Grumbleweeds Radio Show'.
In the years in between, the group now slimmed down to the originals Robin Colvill and Graham Walker have enjoyed success in all aspects of entertainment even down to appearing on such programmes as Emmerdale and Heartbeat as serious actors.
They are heralded throughout the business by their peers as 'The Governors' enjoying record breaking success in virtually every major seaside resort in the UK, Australia, Germany, The Falklands, South America, Spain, The Canaries, New Zealand and cruise ships all over the world. They maintain the enviable skill of being able to entertain an audience ranging from family to stag to corporate with apparent ease.
The Grumbleweeds are firmly established as a number one attraction in the country and look forward to enjoying even more success in the future.
