Thread Name: Bob Roberts is the man on the adverts!
Subject: Bob Roberts is the man on the adverts!
In case anyone in the UK wondered who the man was singing "Magie May" that is accomapied by either concertina or melodeon and contains the line "The first time my barge came home from sea" it is, according to a good and well informed friend of mine who has the album, Bob Roberts.
Trouble is, the old mind not being what it used to be, I can't recall what the ad is for...
He also sang "Windy Weather" on an advert for John West or some such where the old fisherman has his concertina cut in two but carries on playing harmonica!
