'Another fake American accent and not even a very good fake.'

In Leicester, The Last Walttz and Please release Me are the national anthem. Everybody used to live next door to Gerry Dorsey and they were in and out of his house for a cup of sugar most days.

In short, Engelbert is a huge success story in a city that's had the shit kicked out of it by successive lousy government policies. he is a source of pride to Leicester people. In a way that certainly none of the current crop of folksingers are, and a way that doesn't even occurr to them to try and be.

Hands off!
