The Late Show were a band who were too obscure to have their own Wikipedia page. I couldn't find much about them on the internet, but what I found was they were a short lived British rock n roll retro group.
The title would suggest the group are trying to glamorize a British city with an American sounding tune. But it's actually a cover of a 1961 song by the Dovells who were an American group. The Bristol they are singing about is a suburb of Philadelphia as opposed to the UK city.
This would be the only Top 40 hit for the group. One of the members went on to become a teacher and it's probably safe to assume the rest of them went back to the day job too.
