Does anyone remember the name of the tenor dixieland English wartime
banjo player.
I believe he had also made a few movies and was an active as a troop entertainer. He was very popular.

Ray Andrews? George Formby? Can't think of one who fits the bill entirely.

Apparently when he was playing he'd have several instruments ready all tuned to diffrent keys as he wasnt that good a player.
But then at the time he was a hero of the brits bringing a smile to many a face in the dark days of war.
"Its turned out nice again."
