I remember a singer called Elto Hayes who sang "to a small guitar" on BBC Light Programme a long time ago. It may have been one of those Movie adaptations on radio of a Robin Hood film where he sang as Alan a'Dale, but I think he may have had a programme of his own also. I seem to remember him singing "The Owl and the Pusseycat" on one show but it must have been in the late 40s early 50s ?
What was his story, was he ever part of the British Folk Scene?
