Already found those sites in my quest for more information, but thanks anyway, K.S.H.

The event that prompted this query was my holiday in Benidorm last week. I was walking along a street when I came across Wammy serenading an audience of elderly Brits at an open air bar with "Wooden Heart". I was so surprised to see him that I immediately shouted out "Wammy!" and began jumping up and down, pointing to the "Accrington Stanley Pride of Lancashire" legend on my T-shirt. He abandoned his song and began jumping up and down too, shouting "Accy Stanley! Accy Stanley!" while the audience looked on in amazement (and my missus quickly moved to the other side of the street, pretending she had nothing to do with me).

I managed to have a word with him and, apparently, he comes over for six weeks' worth of gigs at this time every year. It's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll from the Marquee to a bar in Benidorm, but he certainly seemed happy and well!
