This is a recording I was unaware of and which I discovered while clearing out some old cassette tapes. Simply marked "Reg Varney -- 13/8/76", it features the British entertainer playing piano, singing and telling jokes.
I presume this was recorded by my grandmother's third husband Arnold Coleman, apparently quite well-known as a theatre organist in the golden days of cinema when going to the movies was an event, complete with live musical entertainment. Arnold would have been in the orchestra for Varney's Australian tour. Sadly, he didn't record the complete show and this upload is all that I have, which is why it opens half-way through a joke.
For those who only know Reg Varney as a sitcom star, this concert will surprise.
