Remembering Bert; he was on a show every Wednesday with Muriel Young back in the 50's / 60's. Thought him pleasant but boring; however, he was very well respected by up and coming musicians such as Pete Townshend of 'The Who'. :)

Always had a Smile did Bert :):)

Didn't he have a TV show on how to play the guitar?

I believe he did + he used to show up on other muso type programs playing in bands.

Was that a Hoffner guitar?

Yes, he had several different models including a Golden, Committee and Club. I've also seen him playing a Yamaha SG and a Gibson ES (lucky boy)

What year was that guitar in Brentnall's window do you know, I might have played it? I used to do repairs for them and take the repaired gear back on a Friday night and sometimes have a jam with the salesman in the shop, who's name has totally left me. I even had a go on the drums one time which didn't work out that well. I bought my first Strat from there. They wouldn't let me anywhere near the Boosey and Hawkes gear though, I probably wouldn't be able to get a tune out of it it anyway.
