I knew Keynsham was a town somewhere, I didn't know where though, I'm sure I've heard a story behind why the band used the name too, but I can't remember it.

The story is there was a guy named Horace Batchelor who lived there, who was constantly on Radio Luxembourg to sell his "infra-draw" method of winning the pools. He always spelled out Keynsham. The Bonzos all knew Keynsham only through his ad. When they decided to do a "theme" album they named it after this near-mythical place that everyone could spell! weldgen.tripod.com/horace-batchelor/You can hear his ad here: www.turnipnet.com/radio/horacebatchelor.wav
