Comment on Lord Mustard by admin

Hi Richard

Many thanks for the info and link! I had no idea Lord Mustard went back to the 1930s, but it makes sense from what I remember of seeing him in Oxford Street in the 1980s. Everything about his act seemed old school, apart from the fact that he was playing his old-fashioned music on a ghetto blaster. Who knows if he would approve my use of his name as a comic character, but I like to think he would have been as tough and resourceful as my imaginary Lord Mustard.

I had a chat to the real Lord Mustard in a pub in the early 90s – he was fairly incomprehensible. I discovered this evening that he appears in “The London Nobody Knows” with James Mason – his career goes back to the music hall in the 1930s.

Fantastic! I’ve been trying to do a similar thing (although with far fewer UK covers) at Poopsheet so I’m very happy to see this.

I’ve just linked to it from Facebook and Twitter. Please do keep it up!
