British soft rock, and covers act who were formed in Wigan, Lancashire. Initially called the Kibbos, they changed their name in the late-1960s to Rainbow Cottage. They were largely a 'live' act, and went through at least thirteen line-ups before they eventually disbanded after playing their final gig on 17th June 1987; at Goose Green Labour Club in Wigan. While they had a minor hit in 1976 with 'Seagull', they are probably best known for performing the theme tune to the childrens' TV programme, 'Cloppa Castle'.Original Line-Up
