The Scaffold were a comedy, poetry and music trio from Liverpool, England, consisting of Mike McGear (the brother of Paul McCartney), Roger McGough and John Gorman. The Scaffold performed a mixture of comic songs, comedy sketches and the poetry of McGough, as evidenced on their 1968 live album, and released a number of singles and albums on Parlophone and EMI between 1966 and 1971, with several more on Island, Warner Bros. and Bronze thereafter. The group also wrote and sang the theme tune to the BBC comedy 'The Liver Birds' which aired from 1969–1978. Jack Bruce, Elton John, Graham Nash and Jimi Hendrix were among the session musicians who performed on The Scaffold's early records, since none of the trio was a musician. Tim Rice, who was at that time an assistant to their producer Norrie Paramor, contributed backing vocals to some of their material. In early 1971, they provided some catchy tunes for inclusion in a television publicity campaign heralding the introduction of decimal currency to the UK. In 1972, they made a half hour musical movie called Plod based on an earlier stage production. The film was made on location in Liverpool, and included boys from the Liverpool Institute High School, earlier attended by the McCartney brothers and Beatle George Harrison. In 1973, The Scaffold transferred to Island Records. After the 1974 success of "Liverpool Lou," recorded with Paul McCartney and Wings, The Scaffold reunited for their final album, Sold Out, on Warner Bros. Records. The B-side of "Liverpool Lou", "Ten Years After on Strawberry Jam", was an instrumental composed by Paul and Linda McCartney and performed by Wings. The Scaffold moved to the Bronze Records label in 1976, and continued touring through 1977. After that the group disbanded. The group also reunited to record a new track for a special album, commemorating Liverpool's 2008 "European Capital of Culture" event. In October 2010, The Scaffold re-united for a Gala Concert in Shanghai, to celebrate the end of the Liverpool Pavilion as part of the World Expo.
