The chart entries are listed below:

THAT’S THE COLOUR OF LOVE – No.3 June 2021

Taken from the 2022 album, Somelight, it was ‘Record Of The Month’ on Radio Glamorgan and previously featured on an Japanese TV advert – for mayonnaise.

HAPPY TO BE – No.3 September 2022

Another track taken from the Somelight CD and another No.3 hit in the chart.

LET’S DO IT AGAIN – No.23 December 2022

The last track gleaned from the Somelight release.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT ALRIGHT – No.7 August 2023

Not many fans knew that there was an extra verse that was omitted from the huge Mungo Jerry hit in 1973 at Barry Murray’s suggestion. Darren’s on bass and Bob plays the drums in a similar style to original drummer, Paul Hancox.

Taken from the 10 Grooves In Glorious Mono vinyl LP, the missing verse is…

Do you really care about saving your nation

Or do you want your own satisfaction

Do you care about society, philosophy

Or doughnuts for tea?

THAT IS WHY (I’M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU) – No.7 June 2024

This one was a song that had been around for quite some time in demo form but this completed version comes from the forthcoming CD, Undefinable.

IN THE SUMMERTIME 2024 – No.4 September 2024

This updated version of the huge Mungo Jerry hit in 1970 came from the Ten Grooves In Glorious Mono LP.

ALWAYS TIME FOR COFFEE – No.23 December 2024

Another from the next Mungo Jerry album, Undefinable it peaked at a slightly disappointing 23 on the Heritage Chart. Still, yet another hit.

IN THE SUMMERTIME (A Taste Of Latin) – No.4 August 2025

A track that was released many years ago was re-released in 2025, hoping that it would prove to be popular with holiday makers in the present day. So it proved!
