Giggetty Plonk morphed into plain old “Giggetty” sometime around 1973. The Goup began to write their own material focussing upon songs about the Black Country- an area often described as “ all those towns and villages situated on the 30 foot coal seam”. It roughly encompasses Dudley, Cradley Heath, parts of Wolverhampton, Walsall and West Bromwich, in the UK. The Group formed its own show- The Giggetty Black Country Show- which featured the cream of the local guest artists and comedians such as Anuyk and Ayli, Dolly Allen, Tommy Mundon, poets Ron Burns, Harry Harrison, Jim Williams and Geoff Stevens, historian Winston Homer and more latterly the superbly talented Dandy and Black Country stalwart Lizzie Wiggins. The Group gigged their way through three decades at the rate of 100 appearances a year. The last original member, Brian Langtry, retired eventually due to health reasons in 1997
