Brian The Singing Miner

[Kiop]

If you are from North Derbyshire or South yorkshire you may remember 'Brian the singing miner and the flying pitprops' doing the clubs in the mid/late 80's. I had his single, 'Spanish Eyes' and now have it on mp3.

Brilliant bloke, makes me laugh. Thing is, he actually thought he was a good singer. If you want a major assault on your earholes (or a good laugh) then click the link below if you dare...

I'd never heard of him so did a Google - there are some surprisingly heated bulletin boards about him and the fallouts with Gutterband - its amazing people get so uptight about such a 'K list' celeb

I remember this because they did a rendition of it for the 'Ovaltine Light' advert many years ago.

Yes I remember seeing that, years before hearing the original.

It went something like "If you're feeling in a state, have a drink of chocolate, have you got a light boy? Ovaltine Light"
