Below is the only surviving film footage of Nutmeg's Benji Wendle and Clive Masters playing together; a live version of "(There's a) Bee (in my Bonnet), Hello!", the aptly titled B side to their 1977 Eurovision song contest entry (There's a) Wasp in (My Welly)

The competition was held on May 7th in London, and hosted by Angela Rippon. French entrant Marie Myriam narrowly beat Nutmeg to win with her dirge "The Bird And The Child". Nutmeg were gallant losers, their "(There's a) Wasp in (My Welly)" coming in a respectable second.

The song was later released as a single with the appropriately titled B-side "(There's a) Bee (in my Bonnet), Hello!"
"As every sock needs a shoe and every man needs something to do, Nutmeg needed a B-side for their unexpected hit (There's a) Wasp in (My Welly).
Cue exhaustion. Cue a mead binge.
Cue a night sat up all of and a classic B-side written.
Benji Wendle provided the lovelorn verses and Clive Masters chipped in with the transcendent harmonies on the chorus. Job done. Benji also played a kazoo to within an inch of it's life... Result? This."
