Looks as though Roy did have a period of "full time" professionalism ~ I seem to recollect seeing somewhere that he did have a day job for a while ~ unfortunately the late nights in folk clubs coupled with no car and work hours did not work out and he lost a proper job or two!!

He was of course a fine singer unaccompanied and an entertainer though not a comedian as such

A big fit lad in his youth but as with many of the era drink became a problem health wise ~ and yes he did record a number of vinyl albums as well as CDs, deserves his place in the English folk club history scene
