Cecil Sheridan's 'My Way'

The Parody King of Irish Theatre, Cecil Sheridan, performing 'My Way" on the RTE Late Late Show in December 1973. It was a tribute show for the Actor Noel Purcell on his 73rd Birthday, and various friends got up to do a party piece. The introduction was Cecil's shtick as the downtrodden henpecked husband he played so very often.

Brilliant! Apart from everything else what a superb accompanist Peggy Dell was.

Thank you! Cecil was the best at this type of song. This is 1973, btw!

What a brilliant show and great to see noel Purcell there. What a talent. Where can I see the whole show?

[@pjnpurcell]

Sorry, Edmund, but I could only show bits of it. RTE wants much dinero for a copy. But if you check my entries, all that I could do are there.

[@pjnpurcell]

Yes, Bb, Peggy Dell it was. Many thought she had passed away by then, but afterward, she was in constant demand! A great Pianist and actress.
