Wise was born Ernest Wiseman in Leeds on Nov 27, 1925, the eldest of five children, and brought up at East Ardley, between Leeds and Wakefield. Money was tight; his father earned only pounds 2 a week as railway porter.
He supplemented this income by performing in working men's clubs. By the age of seven, young Ernie had been recruited into the act, renamed as "Bert Carson and his Little Wonder". He donned a cut-down dinner jacket and clogs to sing Al Jolson songs, and his rendition of Let's Have a Tiddly at the Milk Bar would bring the house down. At 10, he was appearing in the annual Nignog charity revue at Bradford, and in 1939 his turn caught the eye of Jack Hylton, who, searching for publicity to revive his flagging variety show Bandwagon, brought him to the West End to share the bill with Arthur Askey. |

Lol..Bito...it was in fact a birthday of some celeb DJ at the time...i just happened to be there as i had met this dirty bird who was a dancer with the band....so she invited me......
I got into a row with the drummer of the band...i pulled him about how he was looking and talking, at the bar to this dancer who was with me.....He said words to the effect of"Yeah well it cos ive been married to her for 2 years"....then layed me out!... I said afterwards to this dancer...."Why the f-k you invite me?...with your husband here!...." She said...."I just wanted him to see that someone cares"....FFS... Mind you she was a great sh-ag...it was worth a clout!.... and Ernie Wise was class that night......yeah,nice memory. |
