Peter Skellern RIP

[Barry]

Probably not many fans here, but I was saddened to hear of the passing of Peter Skellern yesterday.

I do occasionally play 'Astaire' to hear Peter's delightfully soft crooning.

I liked Peter. He did some nice stuff actually... RIP

Yes sad, he seemed a very affable fellow! With Richard Stilgoe he was this generations Flanders and Swann!

Anything with a colliery band is great by me! Kate Rusby are you listening?

I remember him because my mother was a fan of his. He was on the telly quite often in the '70s then seemed to just disappear.

[Pete The Cat]

That makes me sad. Radio 2 was our staple at home in the 70s and Peter Skellern's songs were always a cut above the other things that they played. God bless him.

Very sad indeed. Enchanting voice.

[Spectral Morn]

Sad :( I am glad he got to fulfil his aspiration to become a priest before he died :) God Bless

As a former survivor of the De La Salle Brothers (think paramilitary division of the Jesuits) I will try not to hold his religious predilections against him.:yesbruv: I remember you Brother Claude!

Church of England priest, not Catholic.

I'm with Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens on this! A plague on all their houses!
