Sunday, 2nd November
Jazz clarinettist Acker Bilk died today.
I remember him appearing on Blue Peter a few times when I was a child. He always played Stranger On The Shore, which was the UK’s best selling single of 1962.
I always thought ‘Acker’ was his actual name, but in fact it is Somerset slang for ‘friend’.
