Back around the mid-late 80s, ex-"Jilted John" Graham Fellows regenerated into one of my favourite comedy characters: the self "styled singer songwriter from Sheffield, South Yorkshire" and "ex-security guard for a sweet manufacturer in the Rotherham area (which he can't mention for security reasons!)": John Shuttleworth. I first discovered the character when he appeared semi-regularly on Channel 4's Saturday Zoo in the early 90s in which he performed - on his Yamaha PSS portable keyboard - some of the self-penned comedy song classics that have been compilated on this must-own album called The Yamaha Years. Shuttleworth's uniquely British brand of comedy and music is always guaranteed to put a smile on my face. Fave tracks: "The Christmas Orphan", "My Wife Died In 1970", "Up And Down Like A Bride's Nightie" and, of course, the anthemic Eurovision entry wannabe "Pigeons In Flight".
