Leslie Felton RIP - Showmen (baritone)

Cynthia Harrell, the daughter of Leslie Felton (baritone), one of the original 1960's Showmen, has just informed me he passed away 16 December. I was about to interview him for my book "Rhythm Message". It wasn't to be sadly, but she said it meant a lot to him to know that he had been recognised over here. If ever If there ever was a group to connect the beach music and the northern scene together, well they were simply it. RIP Leslie.
