Anyone remember Dorita & Pepe (Doris & Pete if you knew them!)
They sang songs from Sth.America and appeared regularly at the Hampstead F.C. as well as on the radio. They played an instrument the size of a mandolin made out of an armadillo shell.
Also, Elton Hayes? He sang folk songs on the BBC Light Prog., during the war and afterwards would you believe. He also appeared as Alan-a-Dale in a British Robin Hood film & wrote the introductory music.
Well, he was booked at Hampstead once. Don't know how they contacted him (before the internet!) As he was getting on in years, his daughter brought him and he was attired in full evening dress. He was extremely pleased that he was remembered and booked for a Folk Club. We were dressed in tie-dye tops, striped coloured jeans and hair down to our shoulders (and that was just the women, Ha, Ha,) Still it was an interesting evening and he went down well.
