Billy Uke Scott in The Vellum
One Of The Guests In The Guest House
The Vellum will feature some of the songs of Billy ‘Uke’ Scott from the Winter 2019 issue for the foreseeable future..
To acquaint those members who may not be aware of Billy, he was a brilliant ukulele player and a wonderful songwriter and
he worked theatres throughout the United Kingdom between the 1930s right up to the 1970s. He was an honorary member
of the Society and a regular visitor to the GFS conventions and entertained right in to the early millennium years.
The first song to be featured will be "One Of The Guests At The Guests House" and for the benefit of those who wish to
learn and perform the song, have a listen to the wonderful playing and singing of GFS honorary member, the late Alan
Southworth. Alan was a great friend to Billy so I am very happy that Alan had the idea to record some of Billy's songs and I
am delighted to be able to reproduce Alan’s track on this page.
I look forward to hearing 'Guest House' on the Blackpool concert stage in the near future!
