Title from ITV's BILLY & ME - a tribute to the Big Yin

BILLY & ME!!!

I was honoured by being asked to contribute to the ITV Show "BILLY & ME" featuring stars such as Elton John, David Tennant, Dustin Hoffman and Dame Judy Dench. My bit lasts all of 5 seconds but I was delighted! Here is the link (Introduced by the delicious Suranne Jones!):

BACK IN ACTION!!!

WELL HELLOOOOOAH!!! I have spent nearly a year trying to access this Blog/Website because my domain name expired and every time I tried to google it I was diverted to a CHINESE website covered in ideograms (ideograms - that sounds like messages sent via twatter) - this site appeared to be advertising either dog food or dogs AS food. Why they would buy BillyConnearly.com to advertise something in Mandarin beats me, folks! The new domain name is www.billyconnollytributeact.com Anyway ah'm back and after 2 years enforced rest from being the Big Yin I actually did a gig just before Christmas. A great audience at Mottram St Andrew in Cheshire had a right laugh at some good old-fashioned non-PC stories. I was onstage for over an hour and I got my appetite for performing right back!!!

BOOKENDS?

NEW PUBLICITY SHOT!

Wow! I finally remembered ma password! Here we are in August 2020. What in the name of Holy Mary is going on? These days I walk intae a shop in a mask tae buy some milk, eggs and bread. If that had been six months ago the staff would have phoned the polis!!! The entertainment world has died along with my so-called career. However, I don't give a shit! I have found a new life, binge-watching all the things I missed when I would have been working. "Outnumbered" - "Scott and Bailey" - "After Life" - "Innocent Man" - "Friday Night Dinner" etc etc.
My next appearance as Billy Connolly is New Year's Eve 2020. Where? I can't even remember, it's somewhere on my email. 😄

COMING SOON....21st of June!!

HEMPSTEAD HOUSE, Country House Hotel and Spa presents.....Me! Book early to avoid disappointment!

Me 'n' BILLY

I AM SO EXCITED, I have two tickets to see BILLY CONNOLLY on the 22nd of This month! In Brighton, East Sussex! Last time I saw Billy there, he not only played my banjo for the crowd outside the stage door, he very kindly autographed it for me! If ye dinnae believe me - well check the photy, by the way! The camera never lies!

A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

2016 awready! Ah'm just getting used tae writin' 2015 as the date and there it goes!!! That's the problem with time....it disnae really exist! In China they don't think it's 2016! They think it's the year of the Dug or somethin' - the Hebrew calendar's aw' different, the Aztecs thought it was 10,025 or something....they can't all be right! Anyway, have a fantastic year and I hope to see ye somewhere at a gig, Cheers!

The nights are fair drawing in!

My God! It only seems like aboot ten minutes since Burns Night and here the Bairns are gaun back tae the school. FFS! Ah've been that busy this is the first chance ah've hud tae catch ye up wi what's happenin'! My Grandchildren have got to the stage where I have the unadulterated privilege of communicating with them by email. Every other day there is a golden nugget of info about school, sleepovers, Minecraft (I am learning but have yet to reach the stage where we can "join worlds". Life gets more puzzling by the hour! Are there any children left who just sit out in the garden and play with a stick?

I would like to wish everyone a Happy New 2015, I hope it brings you everything you would wish for yourself and your family! Hope to see you live in Two Oh One Five!

It's Halloween! Thank God for that! Now we can start looking forward to Christmas.....:-(
At my age a year has been reduced to this....."Should auld acquaintance be forgot.....Happy Birthday To You..... Oh....Jingle Bells - Jingle Bells.....
Not long tae go now....a few years....then it'll be the care home and ...."would you like to try some Christmas pudding" - " NO - FUCK OFF, and take yer Christmas Pudding with ye! Shove it up yer arse! I'm actually looking forward tae that!
