A 1944 WAR TIME CLASSIC FROM THE MUCH LOVED CRAZY GANG DUO OF BUD FLANAGAN AND CHESNEY ALLEN
SHINE ON HARVEST MOON
b/w DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU DREAM
Flanagan and Allen were a British singing and comedy double act popular during World War II. Its members were Bud Flanagan (1896 - 1968) and Chesney Allen (1893 - 1982). They were first paired in a Florrie Forde revue, and were booked by Val Parnell to appear at the Holborn Empire in 1926.
As music hall comedians, they would often feature a mixture of comedy and music in their act; this led to a successful recording career as a duo and roles in film and television. Just prior to and throughout the Second World War they appeared in several films helmed by Marcel Varnel and John Baxter. Flanagan and Allen were both also members of The Crazy Gang and worked with that team for many years concurrently with their double-act career.DISC DETAILS
