The cheaper brands start at around 11p per 100g, so there’s a huge saving to be had. One way these save on cost, though, is by using a high proportion of glucose-fructose syrup rather than sugar. This sweetener, also known as high-fructose corn syrup, is generally considered to be A Bad Thing, and one of the factors behind the worldwide rise in obesity and diabetes. But hey, it’s cheaper than sugar. Ford died on 31 December 2018 at the age of 73 at his home in Los Angeles of complications from Parkinson's disease. His final album, a two-disc collection called This Scottish Heart, was released just weeks before his death. Since then, Marmalade have continued to perform as a nostalgia act, playing their old hits and some new material. The current line-up consists of Newman, Alan Holmes (who joined in 1980), John James Newman (Sandy's son, who joined in 2011), Jan Robinson (who joined in 2016), and Chris North (who joined in 2015). They also released a new studio album in 2013, called Penultimate, which featured six new songs and re-recordings of their classics. Sterilising jars is important to stop your marmalade going mouldy.

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. Marmalade is renowned for their hit songs, including “Reflections of My Life” and “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” (a cover of The Beatles’ song). These songs, along with Rainbow, have solidified Marmalade’s place in music history. 8. Where can I listen to Rainbow by Marmalade? The Gaylords (named after the notorious post war Chicago Gaylords street gang) were originally formed by Pat Fairley and Billy Johnston in Baillieston, a suburb east of Glasgow, in 1961. Their initial line-up included Tommy Frew on drums and lead guitarist Pat McGovern, fronted by vocalist Wattie Rodgers. William Junior Campbell joined on his 14th birthday on 31 May 1961 replacing McGovern, and Rodgers was then himself replaced, initially by two new lead vocalists, Billy Reid and Tommy Scott, although Reid soon departed leaving Scott as the sole frontman. Bill Irving, from local Baillieston group the Cadillacs, then took over from Johnston on bass.

Whitehead left the band in 1978 to manage other pop groups and singers, which he has continued to do. He also appeared in the 2010 TV series Take Me Out and ran a lap dance club.

If you don’t have time to make marmalade while seville oranges are in season you can freeze them. But when you defrost them to make the marmalade, add another lemon to the recipe as freezing reduces the pectin levels (pectin makes the marmalade set).

Their US singles during this era likewise came out on London. But their manager, Walsh, turned down an offer to tour the US opening for Three Dog Night, thus blowing an opportunity for further exposure there.
