I've just chanced upon this on YouTube. I haven't seen it before, but I did this Freddie Starr TV show in the '90s. Adam Faith isn't known to US audiences but he was a major pop-star in Britain in the period from '59 into the mid-1960s.
Not much of a singer (and no-one hated his voice more than he did!), but a thoroughly nice man and we all enjoyed some laughs while doing this taping. The steel-playing (my old Sho-Bud Pro 111) is a bit pedestrian, but I was pleased to be reminded of the time I got to hang out with AF - sadly he's no longer with us having succumbed to a heart attack in his mid-sixties.
Here he's reprising a song written for him by Lonnie Donegan....
