"Have I the Right?" was the debut single and biggest hit of the English band #theHoneycombs. It was composed by #KenHoward and #AlanBlaikley, who had made contact with the Honeycombs, a London-based group, then playing under the name of the Sheratons, in the Mildmay Tavern in the Balls Pond Road in #Islington, where they played a date. Howard and Blaikley were impressed by the group's lead vocalist, Dennis D'Ell, and the fact that they had a female drummer.

Lovely Peeps!

This is the #MusicVideo I was looking for!

It is by Smith & Burrows, and the #puppets & puppeteers were from #LittleAngelTheatre in #Islington.

"We've got to find a little light from somewhere, got to find a little light from somewhere. Take a walk down Parliament Hill - six a.m. and the world is still."

According to Wikipedia, #ParliamentHill is "an area of open parkland in the south-east corner of Hampstead Heath in north-west London. The hill, which is 98 metres (322 ft) high, is notable for its views of the capital's skyline."

Enjoy!
