Flanagen & Allen

Indeed there were a lot of Betties - about ten rather than thirty though. The last Betty, the one with the healthy jugs, left the speciality act to be a war correspondent and also covered the Nuremburg Trials. Truly you could not make it up!
 
There was an old boy in the West End who did the Sand Dance back in the mid seventies. He wore a coke and suit.

He had an old gramaphone player and a tray of sand. He played outside Harrods and even further into town. I believe he had an obituary in the Times when he passed away.

Remember it is Bill Cotton (junior) who has just popped off. It was his old man Billy Cotton who was the music man. Young Bill was more into television.
