The Rutles consists of Barry Wom (drummer), Dirk Mcquickly (bassist), Ron Nasty (guitarist), Stig O'hara (lead guitarist).
The Rutles (aka The pre-fab four) was a parody of the Beatles, jointly created by Eric Idle and Neil Innes. The fictional group is best known for the 1978 mockumentary film about them titled All You Need Is Cash (often referred to just as The Rutles . Tagline: The Musical Legend which will last a lunchtime.). The film was written by Idle and prominently featured 20 songs written by Innes.
The Rutles members in All You Need Is Cash were: Ron Nasty (based on John Lennon) -- played by Neil Innes Dirk McQuickly (based on Paul McCartney) -- played by Eric Idle (singing voice is primarily Ollie Halsall) Stig O'Hara (based on George Harrison) -- played by Ricky Fataar Barry Wom (b. Barrington Womble) (based on Ringo Starr) -- played by John Halsey (Hamburg only) "Leppo, the fifth Rutle" (based on Stu Sutcliffe) - seen only in a still photograph in the film - the photo showed Ollie Halsall - who actually played and sang on the soundtrack. (Halsall in real life was one of the four musicians who performed all the Rutles' music - the others being Innes, Halsey and Fataar. Idle did not actually play or sing on the soundtrack.)
The Rutles members seen in the original skit on Rutland Weekend Television subsequently aired on Saturday Night Live were Ron Nasty -- played by Neil Innes Dirk McQuickly -- played by Eric Idle Stig O'Hara -- played by David Battley Kevin -- Pete Best - played by John Halsey
There is some confusion over the names and actors; Kevin was supposedly the name of the drummer, yet the SNL version calls him Barry. Also, Eric Idle was labelled as Dirk in the SNL version, while his memoirs identify him as playing Stig. Also, on the Archaeology album, Neil, Barry, and Rikki used their real names. The late Ollie Halsall also appeared, as some songs were outtakes from the 1978 sessions. Astoundingly, their amplifiers only went to up to ten.
