A friend and myself are halfway through a bike ride across the UK and are nominating "a song a day" on our blog
We're unable to find anyone singing The Village Pump (ideally the actor who played Tom Forest in the Archers - can anyone help.

I sing it down The Beech sometimes - but I guess that's no help at all?

"Tom Forest in the Archers"
The actor who played Tom Forrest was Bob Arnold from Burford in Oxfordshire who was first recorded by the BBC in 1952.
There was a vinyl album of him singing, including The Village Pump.
Can't help with the blog - sorry.

Good luck with your bike ride - hope you have better luck with the weather than we are experiencing in the west of Ireland.

But I couldn't find the Village Pimp on youtube - it just offered all these sexy sites!!!
And when I added Kippers, all I found was breakfast stuff - salted herrings!!!
A few other Kipper family songs are there tho'.

I find that using Google with a site qualifier (site:youtube.com) yields better results than the YouTube native search, which wanders almost immediately from what you really requested, long before it pulls up all directly-relevant entries.

You can also hear it in this clip, though not until about half-way through. At least in this one you can hear the whole tune without the audience shouting to mask it--or the silly attention-seekers in the background. But I think the song gets cut off, so you may need to suffer through both to get the whole song.
