Of all the clips that were shared this one in particular stood out, shared by Kate Robbins on Twitter.
Rest in peace Freddie Starr.
Here he is doing his ‘miming to a broken tape’ which keeps speeding up /down. I’ve never seen anyone else accomplish this
Brilliant.https://t.co/woDtjvU34y— Kate Robbins (@KateRobbins) May 10, 2019
Here’s how he set it up.
‘People miming on this very stage on the Royal Command Show, how dare they. They’re cheating. They have a man stood behind the curtain with a tape machine. He flicks it on, the music comes through the speakers and you think it’s those artists singing well it’s not, they’re miming. Cheats. Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to sing you a beautiful song now, it’s called Vincent…’
