Coronation Street

[Brownlow]

I thought I recognized a man in 'The Funny Side of the Street', about the happenings in 'Corrie'.
He was with Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt, of Status Quo, and was wearing a yellow cowboy hat.
Can anyone tell me his name, please?

this may be the one

Thanks Mum,
I suppose that must be the guy, but I could only find one picture, that of the Brighton Beach Boys. A man at the front, looked like the one I'd seen on TV.
If he is the one, then it isn't the guy that I thought it was.
Thanks anyway.

this may help you decide if he is the right person or not

Thanks Mum,
(I like saying that!) that has sorted the matter out. I didn't realize that he was an actor, but thought that he was just a part of the Status Quo organization.
You can see the amount of telly I watch, can't you?
Thanks

He's that guy who always plays stoned roadies in films like Spinal Tap and Waynes World 2

Thanks all,
This is a good site, because it combats the onset of my dementia, very well, indeed!
Yes, Scooby Dude, I got the lowdown on the man when I checked IMDb, amongst others. I just didn't realized who he was, because the excerpt was quite short and I wasn't actualy paying attention, until I thought I'd recognized an old mate, from the music business.
However, I'm well-informed about him, now, apart from him having no pictures of himself on the many websites, which mention him.
Anyway, Happy New year to you both.
