Who remembers Roger Whittaker? On 22 March he will be 70, the German newaspaper wrote today he has to sell his villa near Dublin after suffering a heart attack last November and move to a smaller place. Didn,t he play an instrument in "Tea time with Tommy" ( James ) on UTV end of the fifties ?

Donald, my friend,
You are an absolute mine of useless information.
I cannot comment on whether or not the gentleman played on Teatime with Tommy but I can say that I owned a Readers Digest multi CD of the aformentioned. He was a very pleasant singer and an accomplished whistler ( not as good as Ronnie Ronalde mind you). He was very popular in the late 50's early 60's but, like all youthful pursuits has passed into oblivion. I think I saw him in the Opera House in Belfast in my youth but may be wrong as I saw so many I may have got him mixed up with Dickie Valentine or Guy Mitchell amongst others.
Now there's a pointer for a new thread.
Name th artiste!!!!
