Mungo Jerry’s former banjo player pleaded not guilty to assault in a Cornwall court.

Paul King, 58, was charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend and a pub landlord on 4 July.

Mr. King, of Bridge House, Lerryn, near Lostwithiel, pleaded not guilty at Bodmin Magistrates to two charges of assault by beating of ex Fiona Sweet and pub landlord Johnnie Pusey. He was released on unconditional bail.

Mungo Jerry had a number one hit with In the Summertime in 1970.

Mr King will appear in court again on 3 October.
