This isn't the world famous banjo player of the same name, funny though.

I'd think he's funny if I could just understand him.!Yes, at times we are two Countries separated by a common language;-)

I know Bobby was from wear side and I'm a Geordie. But I'm old enough to remember that he was loved all over the north east. Just wish I was old enough to have been able to see him live in the clubs where he was welcomed so much. Legend. Rest in peace.

Thanks for upping this rare Bobby clip Cheeseford.Priceless stuff.I'm not ol enough to have seen Bob meself but me Ma n Da saw him at Ushaw Moor Club in the 70's and they say they felt ill the next day from laughing so much.

And good auld Roy Hudd for his many programs like this documenting the music hall days,which was evidently his chief passion.
