Just found out about this bloke. Just shows how fleeting fame can be.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Gay

I believe we have two stars on our walk of fame Neil Fox (deserved) and Jane McDonald (not so sure)

Now this guy is before the time of anyone posting on here I suspect but the tunes he wrote are are still quite well known and in their day as famous as anything the Beatles wrote.

Yet I'd never heard of him until yesterday, shame as I reckon he deserves a star but considering Box's contempt for the city I don't suppose he will. icon_cool.gif

Quote: homme vaste "My old man always used to tell me all the time as a boy that the bloke that wrote the music behind run rabbit was from Wakefield, born and raised as a young boy in Stanley (Apparently) but never looked into it.

Makes you wonder how Jane McDonald is on that walk yet the likes of Barbara Hepworth are not?'"


Seems to me that Barbara Hepworth couldn't wait to get out of Wakefield, at least Jane M still has Wakefield connections and promotes the city like no-one else ever has!

We can have more than one famous person from Wakefield guys.
Jane Mcdonald promotes the city pretty well and has celebrity status in modern day times.

I do think Hepworth and Gay (Stanley Hill!) should be recognised though. Its not like we are overflowing with celebrity in Wakefield.

I'm pretty sure that Noel Gay has a blue plaque, might be in the cathedral area.

Quote: WakeyTrin1873 "Great find, just how did you come across him Vasty?'"


Stephen Fry's autobiography. His son Richard Armitage, set up the Noel Gay Artists and they are Fry's agent.

Fry was asked by Armitage to re-write the musical Me and my girl to modernise it for the 1980's. Was a huge success both West End and Broadway starring Robert Lindsay.

Made Fry a millionaire for which he seems genuinely grateful and heavily plugs both father and son.

I have no real issue with Jane, more making the quint that in his day this guy was a fair few cuts above her in the talent stakes yet seems largely forgotten.

As for Hepworth she has an entire Gallery named after her, I think she has been truly noted.

It wasn't specifically aimed at anyone. More just to make the point to read your text rather than just put down Mcdonald.
I've seen Me and My Girl and it's amazing. Not sure how close it is now to his original but his music is famous and perfectly preserved .

He did. The Lambeth Walk is from Me and my Gal and he wrote the music and not the lyrics as I previously stated.
