A pot party!

IMG_3649

Tommy Trinder’s Party  Fontana Records (England)  Recorded in the Jolly Roger Bar, Gutlin’s Holiday Camp, Clacton-on-Sea 1959.  This record is intended for you and your party so that you can join in. It’s a party with a record and not just a record of a party. Britain’s funniest man – the most loveable personality in show business and our greatest comedian – drops in to entertain you with his inimitable humour and dazzling repartee.  Tommy thoroughly enjoys himself, as you can tell from the hilarious results.
