FTX-332 - LUCKY LUCKHURST

LONDON SONGS AND CUSTOMS

60 minutes of Cockney wit and humour in which Lucky sings Music Hall songs and parodies and gives the background stories, the street-lore and details of a number of London customs with some interesting examples, of the Street Games he remembers playing as a child: TIN CAN COPPER, BUNG THE BARREL, BUS HORSES, THE ST.JAMES'S "GROTTAS", CIGARETTE CARDS, MARBLES, HOOPS, GANGS, NICK-NAMES, PITCH AND TOSS, finishing up with the irresistable KNEES UP.
