Max Bygraves

Post by nigelb »

An entertainer I remember from my childhood has passed away. I think I remember seeing him at the Golders Green Hippodrome in a pantomime a long, long time ago, although I might be confusing him with Norman Wisdom who passed away in 2010.

Rest in Peace, Max.

Oh my word.. to be honest Nige, I thought the poor bloke had already gone! :worried:

A stalwart of light entertainment for many years.. there can't be many more of his era left.
