Thread Name: The Fraser Hayes Four.
Subject: RE: The Fraser Hayes Four.
I loved Round The Horne and still do, but the FF-4 were excruciating. Tooth-rottingly sweet and blandly mid-Atlantic.

Much better was Kenneth Williams appearing every week as Rambling Sid Rumpo, folksinger. There is a compilation CD available. Specimen lyric:

'Joe he was a young cordwangler,
Munging greebles did he go,
And heloved a bogler's daughter
By the name of Chiswick Flo.

Fair she was and like a grusset
And her gander parts were fine
But she sneered at his cordwangle
As it hung upon the line.'
