  • 1:10 this sounds somehow like the beginning of "voodoo chile". hendrix could not have played the paper bag better.

  • Someone once told Me that Tessie O'Shea was Elvis Costello's mum.

    Is this true?

  • -CONTINUED- Aside from being British, it seems obvious, though hard to put into words, that The Beatles were in a sense spiritual descendents of George Formby and Tessie O'Shea. They had an innate talent to just make everything upbeat and joyfull with their music and even their mere presence had that positive effect. If you really give it serious thought, you'll realize that the ability to have that effect on people is exceedingly rare.

  • Only two months or so ago, I saw one of her ukulele banjos up for auction. It was a Gibson (the guitar company) and it was a beautiful instrument. It sold for an awful lot of money. It's just lately, through YouTube, that I've learned of her and George Formby. She, and Formby, defined the word "entertainer". I'm American and glad to find out about them. In a nutshell they were just fun and enjoyable to watch. They kept you riveted, upbeat, happy and laughing.

  • i wanna tell you something.  not yet.. no yet

  • isn't it funny how supremely racist England nationals have only migrant children to idolise??Bobby Moore?The Charlton  brothers?Wayne Rooney?"Prince of Wales"William.Fuck off

  • Miss O'shea was an institution, I fondly remember her from the Good Old Days. She died in 1995 in Florida of heart failure at the age of 82, link on wikipedia for further info.

  • I remember seeing Tessie O' Shea on telly when I was a kid. Whatever happened to her?

  • trying to find out some info, was Tesse the landlady of the Bloomfield Pub in Blackpool?? x

  • superb working class entertainment
