Sad News. Johnny Carroll, comedian and entertainer has died.

Fond memories of him appearing at the New Cresta Club, Solihull in the 70s where I worked as a part time spotlight operator.
Quite a shock as he seemed lively and chatty as usual when I spoke to him at a New Years Eve do I attended at The Field House, Solihull.

RIP Johnny

O my God I've known Johnny Carroll Over 50 years he lived in Edenhurst Road I could see his house from mine in Longbridge he was a friend of my pops, my pop was in the motor trade and would perform some work for Johnny
Johnny had a car lot on the right hand side just passed the bus garage heading up to the cinema in Selly Oak, back in the mid 70,s I would service his white Jaguar XJ6
My pop and I were just talking about him on Sunday.
Edit,. The road was Chapel Lane and car lot is a used car sales patch.

So li called my pop yesterday and gave him the bad news so we had a little walk down memory lane
So I hope this brings a smile, he was under a no contact order and for some reason he went knocking on his x wife's front door, when the door opened some guy was standing there in a dressing gown and it went down hill from there.

Saw him singing and standing on his chair, belting out his 50s and 60s rock and roll songs only about 3 weeks ago up at The Bluebell in Illshaw Heath, Solihull. Shocked and sad for a good all round entertainer. RIP Johnny.
