GOLDEN OLDIE Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Does anyone remember the man who used to go into the Black Swan and other City Centre pubs in the 1960s, sing Rawhide and when it was the Bull whip part, hit himself over the head with a tin beer tray?

misspedantic Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 There have been a few people who have done that sort of thing. I thought it was done to mule train, but they are very similar songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweatshopboy Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Harry Bendon? I remember Harry Bendon as the bluest of blue comedians, I was in the Mucky Duck one Saturday dinner time watching him when a wedding party trooped in, two minutes later they all trooped out, he was disgusting, but not sure if he did the head banging with beer tray.

Here's Harry! A quick google search found him remembered on Liverpool, Leeds and Glasgow forums. A real character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time he sang it, or tried, his voice has gone, was at his 16 year old grand daughters birthday party. He served throughout the Korean war in the R.Sigs.
