The Floral Dance TERRY WOGAN (with lyrics)

Terry Wogan was one of the most popular UK radio DJs throughout the last 40-50 years, with millions of listeners and devoted fans for his daily music programme. He was always alert to new talent (he was largely responsible for bringing the voice of Eva Cassidy to the attention of British listeners). So when the Brighouse & Rastrick Brass band released a version of The Floral Dance, he promoted it heavily on his show, gradually beginning to sing more and more of the lyrics along with it. Eventually, his fans were demanding that he record it! Here's the result ....

Sir Terry's voice still inexplicably makes me tearful. He was such a gentle, pure, cheeky full of double enendres. "King Deadly" I still revere this incredible human. xxx

I recently went to my partners family party in Warwick. His stepmum and dad were celebrating there 20th wedding anniversary anc it was his 60th birthday. This song was the very first song played by the band that my partners stepmum is part of

Growing up in Brighouse, a tune that made me cringe through my teenage years, but now makes me look back with fondness to a simpler time.

Nice man Terry Wogan from Limerick worked in RTE worked with the BBC to make his fortune which had few business going.

This version was recorded with Hanwell Band from London, not Brighouse and Rastrick .
