Subject: RE: Johnny Silvo - illness From: John MacKenzie Date: 10 Dec 11 - 04:22 PM Johnny had a difficult start in life. He was a Barnardo's boy, and by dint of hard work and pure talent, he has made himself a much loved, and very talented performer. I have seen him in many guises over the years, including his stint on TV as a presenter on Play School (Which window are we looking through today Johnny?) To a much loved regular headliner, at Skagen Festival in Denmark. John you're a star, and a much loved and long standing friend. Jock |
Subject: RE: Johnny Silvo - illness From: GUEST,Tony Cormack Date: 13 Dec 11 - 04:18 AM I first met Johnny some 50+ years ago when he entertained the diners (and we drinkers)at the Belfry, Sutton Coldfield, now famous for its golf. Many happy memories of that time and seeing him at various sessions in the years since. A wonderful man, a great entertainer - such sad news. |

Safe journey Johnny, and thanks for everything. Best wishes to all, Dave (Brillo) |
