Thread Name: Diz Disley Recordings
Subject: RE: Diz Disley Recordings
This would be great,and you could definately sell me a copy.

During the late 60's we booked Diz at many of the clubs I was involved in running in the Greater London area and I saw him up to 10 times a year over a few years. Despite the fact his songs and jokes hardly changed at all over this period I still found his performances amazingly entertaining. Sadly my failing memory prevents me from remembering all his songs but Bloody Orkney,Chastity Belt and The Battle of Hastings spring to mind. Also,when he had drunk slightly more than the he normally did
( and were talking big numbers now ) he could be persuaded to do a very rude version of These Foolish Things. Unfortunately it,s unlikely that would be included on any forthcoming C D

I, like many other people, cant think of Diz without smilling with pleasure, and with a recording I could sit grinning for hours, which is a great legecy for Diz to leave us with
