Anyone remember wendy king ukulele girl from the 1970's

My cousin.

Artie

That's amazing for the last three hours I have been listening to her music, I found her quiet by accident, looking at opportunity knocks winners. She won in 1968 but I do not remember her although I remember Mary Hopkin who was on the same show.

Sister of the Theatre impressario David King.She was on the northern working mens club circuit 1980's/90's.Also made a film.Can't remember the name,but you'll find it on YouTube.

After looking at google I have found out she was an assistant to Charlie Williams on the golden shot, and also starred in the sitcom film version of never mind the quality feel the width

Still lives in Leeds as far as I know.

David King that geezer who was on the millionaire programme who got mugged my some mamzer

As it happens  I live in Leeds

Anyway I am an avid fan of hers now

Yes.That's him.

Still sings occasionally,and still looks very good.

just found some recent footage of her singing in my local pub the Lord Darcy, wish I would of known about her then.

superb stuff

Never heard of her or Lex Mclean but seems very confident and professional (unlike Lex)!
Cracking syrup on the bloke with the glasses at 3.25

Can vaguely remember Wendy. mmm Lex Mclean was not that bad. I saw him quite often in the theatre where he was at his best.

ttt

she had a very good voice, almost Kathy Kirbyish.

Apparently she was on at the city varieties over Easter, I wish I would of known.
I also notice with relish she is on again at the said place on August bank holiday weekend, I will be in attendance for sure

Must be 70ish now, or maybe mid 60s

very hard to find out her age, but I will say 61

VERY OLD THREAD BUT HERE IS A STACK OF STUFF WENDY HAS POSTED HERSELF ON YOUTUBE:
