Perhaps The Wombles were cool after all

They were notorious in their day. Would turn up to gigs on the pretence of 'We're here to clear up after the punters have gone' and the next thing you know they'd be away with your best instrument in one paw and half your back line on a trolley legging it back to the common. Thieving hairy bastads.

Who were they when they weren't Wombles?

Batt was Orinoco - the others were a rotating pool of musicians, including Steeleye Span. Here for more: [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wombles_(band)#Live_performances"]http://en.wikipedia....ve_performances[/url]

IIRC, the costumes were made by a Basschatter's mum (or was it his auntie?) - he posted about it on here one time.
