Dating from what his entry in the Oxford DNB describes as Askey's 'prime professional days': 'In 1938 Askey joined Powis Pinder's Sunshine concert party at Shanklin, Isle of Wight, where he performed successfully for the next eight years.

Arthur Askey [1900-1982] was a permanent fixture on British stage, screen and radio for most of the twentieth century, impervious to changing times, trend and attitudes, whose career began in the days of vaudeville and ended at the advent of alternative comedy.
