Whilst on holiday in Torquay sometime in the early 1970s (probably 1974) I went to see ROLF HARRIS who was performing there. Whilst I can't remember much about the show I do remember being amazed when he did one of his paintings.

Two of the songs that he definitely performed were JAKE THE PEG, and TWO LITTLE BOYS on which the audience helped him out when the microphone broke. I also remember him using his WOBBLE BOARD and DIDGEREEDOO.

Other songs he may have performed (although I am not sure) are, COURT OF KING CARACTACUS, CARRA BARRA WIRRA CANNA, TIE ME KANGAROO DOWN SPORT, HURRY HOME and my two favourites SUN ARISE and FIJIAN GIRL.

Since then he has recorded a cover of the LED ZEPPELIN classic STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN.
