JOHN SHUTTLEWORTH
in A MAN WITH NO MORE ROLLS
"Sheffield's finest synthesizer player and twaddle talker" (Daily Telegraph) decides it's time to instruct the Nation in moral matters. Well, he would have done - had nextdoor neighbour and sole agent, Ken Worthington not mistyped the show's title, turning "morals" into "more rolls"
John's reaction to this mishap is philosophical. At least now his new show can consider - not just the Nation's moral decline - but the vast range of exotic breads appearing in the high street, as the humble roll fades into obscurity. Paninis, ciabattas, pittas, plus the peshwari naan which John recently enjoyed a bite of ("It absolutely blew me away"), inspiring his exciting new ballad "How's your nan?"
"How's your nan? How's your nan?" is more pressing a question than
finding out about the state of an unleavened bread - that's what i said
"How's your nan? How's your nan?" Better find out while you can
Go and see her before you hear she's dead!
Also, in "Get the Volvo,Val", John will re-examine the tragic "moral" tale of Eric Blackburn ("no relation to the DJ") who crashed his hang glider 15 years ago on the Derbyshire moors. As well as these and other new songs, expect old favourites like "2 Margarines", "Eggs and Gammon", and "I Can't Go Back To Savoury Now" hammered out on John's trusty Yamaha keyboard. Also, Special Guests - the concreter from Goole, Dave Tordoff, ("His ignorance is comical bliss" ) and misanthropic Midlands media lecturer, Brian Appleton. (An inspired creation.. Spinal tap, watch your back!")
John Shuttleworth (AKA actor/small island lover, Graham Fellows) was recently heard on BBC Radio 4 in series 5 of The Shuttleworths which was twice made "Pick of the Week". His latest film, Southern Softies is screening on Sky Arts this Summer and is now available on DVD.
