Here he is doing Harry lauder, born in 1870. A great worldwide superstar, a man who lost his only son in 1914 in the great war. Anyone who keeps alive the great victorian musical acts gets my respect♡
I couldn't agree more Alex. OBrian. He was definitely a born entertainer. I too was very fortunate to have met him in Australia when he toured in the late70's early 80's. I was so smitten with him😇
Don't know how true it is, but I was told years ago that Harry Lauder went on stage and sang 'End of the Road' just a couple of days after hearing that his son had been killed in the first World War.
Plus he spent most of the rest of his life raising funds for injured soldiers. He also go right out into the front line trenches to entertain the troops and keep their spirits up. Sir Harry Lauder was a magnificent man!!
His son was something of a cunt and the belief is he was shot in the back by his own side when they went over the top. It was not uncommon to settle scores this way in WW1.
"The gloaming" is a word of Scots origin that became more widely used, meaning twilight but with a definite nostalgic feeling to it. Check UA-cam for "In the Gloaming," one of the most performed and recorded English-language songs of modern times, from the 1870s right through the 1950s anyway. I'm sure good old Harry never recorded that one though...
A gentleman, I saw him in the early 80’s absolutely brilliant!

Stewart, not a Scot. Comes from German English French Germanic tribes.

Sir Harry Lauder was a magnificent man!!
Harry Lauder wrote the song after his son John was killed at the Somme WW1 and yes he sang it on stage in London a couple of days later.
His son was something of a cunt and the belief is he was shot in the back by his own side when they went over the top.
It was not uncommon to settle scores this way in WW1.
For those interested the theatre is His Majesty's Theatre, Aberdeen -
I was born too late there all dead and other people my age listen to the one direction well they can change direction

Hey guys, what in the world does "roamin in the gloamin" mean?
Strolling around in the evening twilight. (With the lassie or laddie of your choice, otherwise there's no' much point.)
Olwen S awesome thanks. My kids listen to this song every day before school.
