Previously Bruce was one of the back room gang behind the Goons, the creator of many of their special effects for the films and live shows and for Michael Bentine's Its a Square World . Bruce was taught at art school by Roger Ruskin-Spear's dad. They played music hall songs plus some 1920s jazz and on very special occasions employed some like-minded idiots and converted themselves into a group called The Massed Alberts . They used to appear at various places around London and were regulars at the Fleet Street Jazz Club , which was a Friday lunchtime venue in Fetter Lane run by Ray Whittam, who played tenor sax with The Temps at one time.
