He sang this under the pretence of, for his Mother, but really it was because he wanted to be a singer. Marion Keisker asked this boy, “so who do you sound like Elvis”? He replied with the immortal words “I don’t sound like nobody ma’am” Then History changed 👏🏼🙏🏼👍🏽

George Robey!

I saw him on that tour as well, but at that Finsbury Park venue that was left in disrepair for years. much more of a punk rock rendition of Love songs

I saw Arthur too, in fact I saw him in Paris with Shack as his back up band, watched the soundcheck an all! What a gig that was!

That doesn´t sound so bad for an act like Brian Wilson - so special & didn´t tour a helluva lot.

I know when I was talking about seeing them for about a tenner in the early 90s, but I didn´t have much money & it was affordable + drinks & tabs and all that. nuts
