A brace of humorous songs performed by Leslie Sarony.

Show full synopsis

Leslie Sarony, the famed performer and songwriter - whose 'Jollity Farm' was memorably covered by the Bonzo Dog Band - sings these two songs in the style of an on-stage performance, direct to camera, before a backdrop depicting the exterior of a public house. In both cases the performance of the song includes the traditional sing-along chorus during which Sarony exhorts an imaginary audience to join in. Both songs finish with an instrumental chorus and dance.
