Sad to hear of the death of the Welsh singer Ivor Emmanuel (Nov. 7th 1927 - July 20th 2007) in Malaga, Spain. Movie buffs will remember him rallying the troops in the 1963 film "Zulu" with the song "Men Of Harlech". Ivor, say "Hello" to Harry Secombe".

Ivor Emmanuel came from the Afan valley village of Pontrhydyfen near Port Talbot and it is quite striking to see how many and talented actors and singers PT has produced ...Ifor,Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins of the older guard and Michael Sheen and even Rob Brydon of the newercrowd

"Well, the have a great bass section mind you, But no top tenors."

I have enjoyed that scene for years. It is one of the great bits of movie making.

Well - Port Talbot and 'surrounds'. To which you can add Ray Millan.
