Stars On Sunday - The Poole Family

[Dollie]

If you're over 45 you'll remember the Poole Family on Stars On Sunday with Jess Yates at the organ. Whatever happened to the family and in particular little Glynn ? They're from Yorkshire I think. Thanks

Was this question intended to be linked to your other one about "Junior Showtime" or is it just coincidence that JS was produced by Jess Yates and also regularly featured the Poole family?

[Dollie]

Yes it was connected I suppose. I remember that Glynn Poole used to sing on JS but I didn't know that Jess Yates produced it. Thanks for that Kempie.

The boy himself - Glyn Poole

Apparently during the 70s the Poole family took over the running of a pub somewhere in West Yorkshire as a backup to their musical career and, of course, would perform in the bar.

There is a music/vocal producer named Glyn Poole who has been involved in the recording of albums at Touchwood Studios in Leeds. The same one do you think?

[Ben Poole]

Hiya, I 'Googled' my family's name and I found this thread.

I am Ben Poole, nephew of Glyn Poole of latter day Stars on Sunday fame! My family did indeed take over the running of the Westbourne Pub in Otley, West Yorkshire, this was well before I was born so I'm not entirely sure of the details.

Glyn now lives in Manchester after a stint co-running the Bradley Arms pub in Featherstone. He has now returned to his roots in music and works as a freelance music producer. He has worked closely with Nightmares On Wax and has co produced tracks with Warren Clarke for Defected Records.

My Dad, Michael Poole is currently studying at Cliffe College in Derbyshire to become a minister of the Christian Methodist Church,

The rest of the family,Sylvia (my Grandma), Stephen, Wendy, Angela, Denise and Jude all reside in the Castleford area and are pursuing their various endeavors.

Hope all this is interesting to someone, if anyone wants any more info, my Grandad, the late Cyril Poole, wrote a biography of the Family entitled "Another Sound Of Music", which can be aquired from Amazon
