Les Dennis gains indie cred
oappleby by Ollie Appleby October 8th, 2001
Les Dennis sings on new Frigid Vinegar record.

Les Dennis is to feature on their new single 'Diddleysquat' after the band, keen for his input, camped overnight outside the Carlton TV studios.

The Family Fortunes host provides a certain "showbiz authenticity" to the single, about money-grabbing quiz show contestants.

Frigid Vinegar's Alex Lusty: "An uncomfortable sleep in the van was rewarded when we managed to nab Les the next day on the way to filming.

"He liked the idea of a tune about money-grabbing quiz show contestants so much that we persuaded him to sing his part into a mini disc. EMI snapped it up the very next day.".

Les Dennis sings the line: "Stand up if you want to win a million, jump up if you want to win two."
