A band of rock-n-roll plumbers known as 'Never Mind The Ballcocks' beat off stiff competition to win a BBC One talent show and clinch a charity CD deal.
Band of ballcocks beat off stiff competition
Stuart Dunne (lead vocals and guitar), Martin Botley (lead guitar), Robbie Glanfield (bass guitar and backup vocals) and Billy Kikidis (drums) plumbed to new depths to deliver a winning performance on BBC One's talent show Tonight's the Night.

The men from Lambeth are all heating engineers working for Pimlico Plumbers which carries out work all over London. The band and a nationwide distributor signed a deal to record a charity CD to be released in September and sold in Plumb centers and Part Centers across the UK.

'Burning Love' and 'Splish Splash I'm taking a bath' are some of the tracks included in the CD.

All the profits will go to Action for Children and The Prince's Trust, the charity supported by each business.

Copies of the CD will be available from any Pimlico plumber and in all Plumb Center and Parts Center branches in September.
