Thread Name: Obit: Miles Wootton (1934-2019)
Subject: RE: Miles Wootton
Saw Miles W about thirty years ago at a club that used to run in Preston Circus, Brighton. He was one of the great comical/satirical figures contemporary with Mike Harding, Jasper Carrott, Jeremy Taylor etc - still one of the greats although some of the songs have inevitably dated a bit. I heard the "funny customers" song done at a club only last week - my favourite always used to be "The Village Production of Hamlet" - which I'm 90% certain was one of his, although correct me if I'm wrong here.
I think he should DEFINITELY record those songs- otherwise they run the risk of vanishing into the great recycling bin of history
