There was no mention of raucous drum solos, overly loud guitars wailing or thumping bass guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, it was the complete opposite, often Dave Meyers, prior to the recording session would have to enter the hall, walk to the stage and turn down the volume of bingo caller&#8217;s microphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wayne doing his best<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One particular example of this craziness happened during the recording a vocal overdub with Wayne Fontana of Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders fame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the session Wayne was in the recording room behind the microphone and wearing his cans and singing away as best he could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halfway through the song he stops singing, the engineer stops the tape and Wayne says down the microphone to the engineer,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Hey, I can&#8217;t hear what I&#8217;m doing, can you turn my voice up and the bingo down?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Wayne-Fontana-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Wayne-Fontana-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Wayne-Fontana-2.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Wayne-Fontana-2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Wayne-Fontana-2.jpg?resize=768%2C769&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kennydenton.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Wayne-Fontana-2.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-kenny-denton wp-block-embed-kenny-denton\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"uq00ZzX4T4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennydenton.com\/?p=3812\">Strange But True-Oddball -The Drunk-The Gambler and The Dame<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute;
