I love his stuff...loud gaffaws whenever its on.

It has been played on Radio 2 a lot lately in the early hours.

My bf's dad knew him from school/church in Yorkshire/West Riding years a go so recognises some of the characters and influences in his songs.

My faves are 'The Cactus', and the one about the dog 'Ullyses'. This guy has incredibly accurate rhythm, timing and intonation and sings narratives as if they were ballads.

Would love to know your thoughts on JT please Mr Hawley.

Absolute comedic and poetic genius! Sister Josephine and Brother Gorilla (Le Gorille) are classics. :thumright:

...stuff like That's Life" etc - that voice was very striking and a true original.
