Who is it?

[red750]

His name is Sir Thomas Hicks.

 

That may not mean that much to you. You may know him by his stage name, Tommy Steele. 

 

The clue?    He originated the part of Kipps in Half a Sixpence in the West End and on Broadway, reprising his role in the 1967 film version.

I reckon I barely knew of any of the people posted here in their original guises, let alone when they got old and ugly. I have found it an impossible challenge.

[old man emu]

If I told you that I did work out who he was , would that be a little white lie, or just a Little White Bull?

Wouldn't have known the gent from a bar of soap.

My brother went in for all this stuff and he never flew planes or rode motorcycles. Now I'm happily paying the price. I know nuffing.  Nev

OK.It's Jon Cryer, aka Alan Harper, from Two and a Half Men.

I wonder if he's still as slick on the guitar as he used to be.

[onetrack]

Great to see him auctioning guitars for Ukraine.

[willedoo]

I haven't found out how much the guitars sold for at auction. All the google hits I could find predated the auction. Only four of them made.

No bites in two days?  It's Adam Lambert.

 

 

[onetrack]

Sorry, I don't follow the poofy girly-boy scene, I had no idea who he was, even when you posted his name.

[gareth lacey]

He toured with the group Queen, after the death of lead singer Freddie Mercury. He recently (this week) appeared as a special guest on Australian Idol on Channel 7.

[Jerry_Atrick]

Ne'er been a big fan of Queen... 

[facthunter]

We have a "Queens"land in Australia but Sydney makes the Most from it. Aren't the   State Names pathetic? What IS a TAS mania.? West Australia How inspiring!. Victoria named after a Queen. NEW South Wales. How long will it be NEW?   Nev.

[Bruce Tuncks]

Right yet again Nev. Melbourne is bad enough for a name but Victoria is worse.

[Bruce Tuncks]

And South Australia has at least 2 states ( TAS and VIC) which are obviously more South.

[red750]

[onetrack]

Nev, get it right, it's WESTERN Australia, not WEST Australia.

Jason Donovan's father (ex. Cop Shop)? In the US/Canada?

I saw this map while watching a video on another topic. It shows that back in the early 19th Century there was an area beside Hudson's Bay in Canada called New South Wales.
