Charlie Williams. RIP

In addition to the death of Steve Irwin, we lost one of out own cultural icons at the weekend.
Charlie Williams, the Barnsley born black comedian, died on Sunday.
He was a star of TV & was the role-model for other comedians like Lennie Henry.

Charlies humour was self-depracating at times, but it was all clean fun.

He will be another man to be missed

Yes, I met him years ago at Batley Variety Club.
My parents had gone to collect something that another performer had left for my mother, when he came into the foyer before a show & started chatting.
I still remember what a nice chap he was.
