RIP my wife really liked his singing, not particularly my thing though.

This is the song I always remember him for. I quite liked it at the time. I don't think the same could be said for the audience in the background though who seem very unengaged. Some are walking out mid song and others seem distracted by something going on above their heads before they start to rummage around for their cigarette packets and light up.
I seem to remember Skellern also did some cover versions of some old classics like "Love is the Sweetest Thing" and also an album in the same vein dedicated to Fred Astaire

R.I.P. Peter.
Loved 'You're A Lady'. Happy memories of a girlfriend back in '72.

That is really sad, You're a Woman is one of my all time favourite tracks. His version of She was good to. I have an album of his, Sentimentally Yours.

Not bothered about his singing but I do remember him playing Carter Brandon in the radio adaptation of I Didn't Know You Cared. Which was absolutely hilarious.
