Heard this on the radio last night.

I loved this song - RIP Peter.

All the good ones are going, it seems. R.I.P. Peter Skellern.

I remember him, but just the one song. Sounds like he had a good life.

He was a great favourite of mine in the 70s, I had several of his LPs, loved his singing and piano playing and his use of 'the heavenly choirs' in his songs.

Thanks Mamy....hadn't realised that it had been posted already.

Not everyone will have seen it there though - he had a lovely voice.

Reading his obituary I came across another name whom I haven't seen for many years, Richard Stilgoe, a very funny clever man.
