Tonight on BBC4 at 22.00 , Billy Fury- the Sound of Fury.  Billy was one of the first British singer/songwriters, should be worth watching.Smile

    Billy Fury.  A great star with a wonderful voice.  I often tried to rehearse " It's only make believe" with the group but could never match his terrific vocal range and never sang it in public. . 

    Halfway to paradise and In thoughts of you were two of my favourites.

    Colin Gold, a winner of "Stars in their eyes" and Fury impersonator stars in the show The Billy Fury Story. He sings alongside the original Furry band and is very, very good. The show is well worth seeing if you get the chance.

    Inevitably there was more talking than singing
