Got through, didn't win.

That was Gavin, a friend of mine who presents a show on a local radio station in Manchester. If you want to hear what I sound like, we sort of muddle through an approximation of a radio show together over on Mixcloud: http://www.mixcloud.com/CharityShopClassics/charity-shop-classics-show-62/
Reg Varney on there.
Half A Sixpence-Barbara Windsor & Marty Wilde

Funny Game Politics-Roy Kinnear & Kenneth Cope & Lance Percival
I own two comedy records and they are...

The first was better than the second. Far more natural even if at times he does sound like he's in the toilet. The second however benefited from having a brilliant cover.

Dear God! It's like being imprisoned in a provincial Oxfam shop. All that's lacking are the Top of the Pops records.
That Sooty record isn't really comedy and neither is Keegan's. Which is why I didn't post them from my Flickr feed - which is where those images were taken from! Kevin Keegan was deadly serious about his musical career, if he'd been into comedy he could have been up there with Russ Abbot by now.

Has he got it out again?
