I can supply the death details of a man that played spoons once in Waylon Jennings backing band, but someone who is partly responsible for one of the best theme tunes ever, I miss that. That's shocking. Cmon he’s hardly in the same league as Dennis Waterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just awful though. One of those impersonators who would tell you who he was doing at the start of the monologue so you would get it. Always sounded like Mike Yarwood to me. Was essentially replaced by far better impressionists. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the opposite of this one, someone who isn't dead but I thought was. Imagine my delight seeing Bill Beaumont on the tellybox opening the RWC the other day. Genuinely thought he was gone a decade ago. Looking good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Brendan Croker, former member (with Mark Knopfler) of the Notting Hillbillies, just turned 70 last month. Leukemia. First example in the thread of somebody I actually knew (albeit only casually). He actually replaced me (quite rightly!) as singer in an ad-hoc local blues band in Leeds in the late 70s. He was quite a character, Yorkshire's answer to Ry Cooder. Shine On, big feller. Edited September 11, 2023 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
