Reference Grace, beuty and Banjos, Micheal Kilgarriff page 197

Morris & Cowley (fl1923-50s)

Dear Old Pals; The Life Of The Party; Top Gear Comedians

entry reads.....

"Harry (1895-1972) and Frank(d August 11th 1985) Birkenhead emreged from the family act in 1918 as thew Vesta Brothers, changing to Morriss & Cowley five years later.
We are fortunate enough to possess a videotape on which the brothers sing a comic song, one also dancing and the other playting a ukulele. The comedy is simple buit strong, and as they march rapidly off-screen on the final bar we also want to shout 'Bravo!' "

Another Life of the Party was Jack Haig.
