Star Turn on 45 (Pints) is an English novelty song musical ensemble, originally with Steve O'Donnell,[1] Colin Horton Jennings and J. Vincent Edwards.
Charlton is played by J. Vincent Edwards, who had previously appeared in the London performance of Hair, had a brief career as a solo singer in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and then moved into songwriting and production, and was a co-writer of "Right Back Where We Started From",[2] a UK No.
Edwards' experiences of performing at affiliated working men's clubs in North East England, early in his career, was part of the inspiration for Star Turn.
[3] Cummings is played by Colin Horton Jennings, who had sung and performed with the groups The Greatest Show on Earth and Taggett, and who composed songs for, amongst others, The Hollies, Cilla Black and the Salsoul Orchestra.
Jennings' performance exaggerated the "club singer" style, while the concert chairman urged the audience to "settle down; give the lad a chance now, he's only doing his best".
