Bobby Crush used to pack in large audience’s for his Concerts at Bedworth Civic Hall.
Joe “Mr Piano” Henderson…Glasgow’s finest exponent at “tickling the ivories”!
 
Victor Borge the “Clown Prince of Denmark”, classical concert pianist as well as his famous “comedy routines” at the Piano. I found his statue in Copenhagen when we were on LCFC’s European Tours!
