I discovered him via one of those Decca World of ... comps in the seventies. As with some of Jake Thackray's work, not something to listen to all the time but when good, very good indeed. I knew he had written music for Basil Dearden's film Violent Playground (very much an adult's idea of rock'n'roll), but only found out a few days ago, via Spencer Leigh's account of pre-Beatles British pop, Halfway to Paradise, that he'd written quite a few hits for other people too. Anyway, my fave Roberts lyric comes from I Love Mary: But she's twice as rich as Croesus, Sleeps in golden fleeces, And when I see the dough, my principles go To pee - pee- pieces!

I sadly only have chapter two and the decca one, James has chapter one so thats sorted :-) I am his youngest daughter and still miss him now and still have many conversations with my mother Maureen Norris (Patti Noble) about him and to my half brother Yan and my nephews. My father William Henry Norris was born in Liverpool and lived a very colourful life before he met my mother. We lived in Wales and around Hereford for alot of years. He taught me some very special things in the short 13 years I was priveliged enough to know him for. He was however a very difficult man to live with and very troubled, its been a very great shame to both his family and the world to lose such a talented man. Not only talented with music but carpentry, painting and his mental capacity was amazing - well to me anyway as a young wide eyed daughter. Its nice to read the above comments (yes even the not so rosy ones) and I would like to say thankyou for your time spent on them, if anyone wishes to get in touch please feel free to with any questions I will try my best to answer, tammy0376@hotmail.com Tamerlain(Tammy)Norris Well, I have never seen this site and thankyou to my Nephew James for showing me.

I think that the Impact album did well over a million copies and the re badged versions of it also sold well. So Not really forgotten, My wife and I still play around the world at guitar conventions, and the EMI Studio Two albums of ALL the artists on Impact, are in a myriad of homes across the globe..

Someone in the USA ordered a couple of brass band records from me, one of which was Harry Mortimer and his Cathedral Brass (Contour 2870 447), produced in 1973. This prompted me look at your site. It is wonderfully informative - I knew nothing about the world of brass bands, and so had no idea just how highly esteemed Harry Mortimer was, how significant was his contribution to the brass band world. Thank you so much for 'opening my eyes'. I had no idea just what treasures I had in this genre of music and its principal proponents, especially Harry Mortimer.
