Egluntyne Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Anyone else old enough to remember him? He was always on the radio when I was a very small child. BBC Light programme. Am astonished to learn that he is still alive and will be 100 on 7th December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlo Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I have to say that I had never heard of him but - probably like you -I was listening to the tribute programme on Radio 2 last night. I can't say that it was my type of music but it was ok for wrapping presents to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrensWorld Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I can remember Edmundo Ros, didn't he have a radio programme on the BBC Sunday afternoons. Though the only song of his I can recall is 'Rhythms of The South'. That was a very long time ago..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 No, sorry, not old enough I only go back as far as Alexis Korner (from the 70's) 100, wow what a great age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickweed Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I remember Edmundo Ros. I didn't care for his South American style music when I was young, but I quite enjoyed it when I heard it played recently. I must be older than I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 Wakey Wakey! I can remember trying not to laugh at Jimmy Clitheroe aged 9 when I was in hospital having had my appendix out. It hurt my stitches too much. When you think back, he was a bit grim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Jimmy Clitheroe...." Where is it ? What is it ? And why isn't it on the table.......hehehe His poor mother had a lot to put up with.....you had to laugh though....made my first catapult listening to him unfortunately it didn't work it turned out rubbish, my Dad said "what do you expect from a Clitheroe idea? He had a point." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
