the boys formed a band in the early sixties. Junior Campbell (instrumentalist, vocalist), Pat Fairley (bass guitar), Billy Johnson (bass), and Tommy Frew (drums) became the Gaylords and played at local clubs. Later, Bill Irving and Raymond Duffy replaced Billy Johnson and Tommy Frew, respectively, and the quintet’s format was complete when Thomas McAleese (Dean Ford) joined them as the singer. Dean Ford and the Gaylords became one of Scotland’s most popular groups but, like many others in the early 60s, had little chance to get a recording contract. The group regularly supported visiting acts and were regulars on BBC Radio Scotland, but real success failed them despite their undoubted popularity within Scotland. Eventually, they were signed by EMI-Columbia in 1964. Their debut single "Twenty Miles" sold well in Scotland but failed to chart nationally.

The next few years saw more changes in Marmalade's line-up and musical direction. Nicholson left the band in 1973 and was replaced by Mike Japp. Fairley left in 1974 and was replaced by Joe Breen. Whitehead left in 1975 and was replaced by Dougie Henderson. Ford left in 1975 and was replaced by Sandy Newman, who became the new lead singer and guitarist.The group began gathering notice and in 1963 Fairley and Campbell spotted Thomas McAleese, singer with local group the Monarchs, at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow, and it was not long before he replaced Scott as lead singer. McAleese then adopted the stage moniker Dean Ford, and they then became known as Dean Ford and The Gaylords. Raymond Duffy, from Glasgow group the Escorts, then came in on drums after Frew departed. For a few months, they had an organist, Davey Hunter. By early 1965, Graham Knight, from the local group the Vampires, had displaced Irving on bass. Graham Knight remained as the sole original band member touring the nostalgia circuit with Newman, Smith and Alan Holmes. In 1982, Glenn Taylor replaced Smith on drums, though Smith returned from 1989 to around 1998, before Taylor took over permanently.

In 2015, Jan Robinson (vocals, bass) and Chris North (drums, percussion) were brought in as the new rhythm section, in place of Steed and Sawyer. The next day, slowly bring the pan to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the peel is very soft. If you don’t have a sugar thermometer or if you want to be doubly sure of a set, put a couple of small plates in the freezer (see Cherie’s tips, right). Carmody, Robin (1 January 2002).

Store your marmalade in a cool, dry place– and remember to make enough to keep you going throughout the year… Lift the muslin bag from the pan and leave to cool in a bowl for 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle.

Newman (ex-Chris McClure Section, 1968–1970) has continued to front Marmalade since 1975, releasing a further eleven singles in the UK (excluding re-releases), seven of which were via Target Records, none of which have charted in the UK or US, and today they continue to tour the nostalgia circuit performing the band's full hit repertoire.At 20 per cent, you can’t expect much in the way of flavour, so the producers have a battery of boosters in their cupboard, including concentrated orange juice, orange purée and orange oil – none of which features in recipes for home-made marmalade as a rule. As the years passed, new line-ups followed until Dean Ford was the only original member; by this time, Marmalade was more like Status Quo, but their popularity slipped as music tastes changed. Peter Walsh grabbed the opportunity and used Alan Whitehead and Graham Knight as the basis for a relaunched Vintage Marmalade. Sandy Newman (vocals, guitar, keyboards) and Charlie Smith (guitar) made up the new format, and they had a surprise hit with "Falling Apart at the Seams" in 1977. This was the group's last chart success. Marmalade continued with different formations to entertain live audiences. Halve all the fruit and squeeze out the juice. Pour the juice into a large jug on your scales and top up to 2 litres (2 kilograms) with cold water.
