About Me
- Name: Bob Williamson
- Location: Bolton, United Kingdom
Bob Williamson is an award winning comic (The award was not for comedy) He was born in Bolton and still lives there (in a different house!) During the 1970's he released 3 LPs: SUPERTURN (Sweet folk all records), GREATEST HITS VOLUME 6 (EMI records) and STILL HAZY AFTER ALL THESE BEERS (EMI records). In 2006, bowing to pressure from music and comedy lovers, he released all 3 albums on one 35 track CD which can be obtained at his website at www.bobwilliamson.org. His TV appearances are too many to mention but the ones that are still being repeated worldwide are: wheeltappers/shunters club, Corrie, Granada News, Phoenix nights, His live performances have included such diverse venues as LONDON PALLADIUM, HILTON HOTEL DUBAI, HAMMERSMITH ODEON, HONG KONG FOLK FESTIVAL & a disused scout hut outside Rotherham Since a back injury made him cut down on traveling and touring, writes comedy scripts for TV and radio and fellow comics. He is 6 foot 4 (worth the climb) and stubbornly clings to his 70's hippie type hairstyle. Among his current projects is finishing a TV comedy, begun with his late friend Hovis Presley, about a man traveling around Ireland using only the map on a tea towel

DIDNT BOB LOOK LIKE A CENTRE FORWARD FOR BURNLEY FC 6FT 4 LONG HAIR SHIT AT CORNERS LOL
HI MEATY,I AGREE. DID YOU KNOW HE ONLY DID 2 GIGS A WEEK,THE OTHER 5 DAYS HE WAS DOING HIS HAIR.
LIONEL
LOL I LIKE THE WAY HE HAS IT CURLING UNDER, A BIT LIKE DEIRDRE BARLOW HAD IT WHEN SHE WAS WITH RAY LANGTON! IN FACT IF BOB HAD BIG GLASSES HE COULD PASS AS A DEIRDRE LOOK A LIKE.
SORRY FOR THE STICK BOB , YOU KNOW WE LOVE YOU [IN A BROTHERLY WAY] HOWEVER I DID FANCY DEIRDRE ALL THOSE YEARS AGO
Dear Mr Willamson I have just seen the video of your good self. Please submit a photograph to Susan Scott look a likes and I will get you some work as a Deirdre Barlow look a like.
Best wishes susan scott
Get me out of here ! KEN KEN
I was the make up and wardrobe person for the Series Wheeltappers and Shunters series. I can confirm that the reason Bob had a Deirdre look was because the show was filmed over 2 days. On the first day he had just washed his hair and it was lovely and bouncy.
However when he tuned up for filming on the 2nd day he hadnt washed his hair, so for the sake of continuity we decided to use CARMEN HEATED ROLLERS. If you compare the 2 videos on here you will notice there is a difference.
I must say Bob was delighted with the finished look and he actually bought the Carmen rollers, and i do believe he still uses them to this day.
What is amazing I was head of makeup and wardrobe on Coronation st and Deirdre Barlow used the exact same brand of heated rollers!!
I have now retired but I do go out as a mobile hairdresser and yes I can sometimes be seen outside Bobs house with a box of heated Carmens.
Dear Bob,
i am looking for a stunt person to help me in coronation st. I was amazed to see the similarity between you and i,and i must say Ken fancies you.Its a love scene where ken makes love to me over 2 episodes,i do realise the complications with regard to this, so i will get Nadia from Big Brother to put you in touch with the people who can deal with youre meat and 2 veg.Dont
worry about the baby doll see through nightie,you can borrow mine.
All my love
Diedre Barlow
PS Its like looking in a mirror
HI DIEDRE , THANKS FOR JOINING US, DID YOU USE CARRMEN ROLLERS TO ACHIEVE THAT CURLED UNDER LOOK, BOB HAS GOT YOU OFF TO A TEE [WHATS THAT MEAN] !!
To all those Radio 2 visitors welcome to Bobs site. I highly reccomend his greatest hits CD, which is available here, and yes he does personally sign them and they arrive in one piece !! unlike a multi gym i recently bought off Ebay
Regarding my multi gym off Ebay, yes it did arrive however parts were broke and it wasnt signed. Who did it belong to i hear you all cry
FRANK BRUNO? ROCKY? TYSON?
It actually belonged to Lionel Blair
Its a lie i sold it in good faith
and the moneys gone to my next panto Liarnel and the forty thieves of ebay.If anybodys interested i also have a pair of tap shoes 1 hot 1 cold.
Liarnel Blair
Hello Liarnel, Brucie here,good gym, good gym, good gym. Nice to rip people off.To rip people off nice.
Dear meaty you asked what a tee was,well its a thing you stick youre balls on, and then hit with a CLUB (The orange ones are nice)
Deidre
I thought a tee was for golf balls!
Meaty!
I've seen you in concert and if you've got a gym, WHY DON'T YOU USE IT!
Ive got a jim lad.
Long John Silver
It came in bits, i am awaiting lionel blairs personal trainer to come and mend it
Hi Bob,
That Meat Loaf has been pestering me to play your album. He said if i didnt play it live on my radio 2 spot he would sit on me !
So listen out, its going to be Late Feb early March
All the best Mike Harding
If I pester Mike Harding, do you think he would play FUNKY MOPED?
If there are free plays going then I think I'm more folkie than Williamson or Carrott......and I've been in Emmerdae!
Why miss out us welsh? My LPs went to number 1 so I reckon Mike Harding should be playing me
NO ONE PLAYS MINE COZ IM SHIT!!
Although I'm a rich bastard and live in America
I'm more famous than the lot of them, why are us scots excluded?
Play DIVORCE form me mike!
big yin
Ive tried 100s of times to get my cd played. Not once have i heard him play Dick a Dum Dum.
Des o Gonnor
On the radio 2 forums, they are saying Bob looks like David Cassidy!! I was a Donny Osmond fan myself!
Are you a moron as well.How many wifes have you got.I liked that fish song Donny sang,Guppy Love.
Gordon Gilltrap
p.s.sorry i missed the m out of mormon (im not really)
i have got 8 wifes one for every day of the week
I thought he looked more like RICK WAKEMAN. Why are they talking about Donny Osmaond and David Cassidy on Radio 2 FOLK page?
Aunt Bessie,why are you on this website shouldnt you be on the puddings website,mind you theres some puddings on here.
auntie nelly
Who are you calling a pudding?
Just leave us out of this!
meatloaf is not on the menu!!
Knife to see you to see you Knife.

I have just come off the bbc radio 2 message board and there are 2 threads about Bob Williamson, I come on here to find out more about bob and find that it's just as chaotic on here! Are you all Northeners?
Hello Barrow boy,welcome to insanity.Are you from Barrow.I am from Bollington Nr Macclesfield and now live in Wales, been a fan since Bobs early days.His sense of humour is the same as mine,which is totally off the wall.If you cant have a laugh, lifes not worth living,dont you think its perked up the Radio 2 message board.Yes we can discuss folk in a serious way,but lets keep the thread going for a bit of light relief.Talking of light relief i need a pee.This is the last time i talk seriously on this sight as its not allowed.Gotta go to dig up some coal.

Lionel
We in London like to laugh as well. Have you never watched Eastenders? We're always good humoured. Listen to Chas & Dave if you don't believe me You woolybacks seem to be perpetually cheery and that looks like you got something to hide.
I must confess that I have laughed at the stuff on Bob's website and may even unlock my wallet and buy the CD! Or I might wait till it all comes on Youtube and spend the money on eels and whelks!
Barrow boy
You must confess that the Radio 2 website has perked up since this lot arrived. It was fusty and not a little dull but they have brought a welcome bit of levity.They did invade with a bit of a jolt though, very much a case of A laugh, a song and a hand grenade.
Tom
WELCOME BARROW BOY, PICK UP A STRAIGHTJACKET AND ENJOY THE LEGEND THAT IS BOB WILLIAMSON, I STRONGLY RECCOMEND BOBS CD ITS VERY GOOD.
MUST GO MY THERAPIST HAS ARRIVED!
LOVE MEATY!
Good morning Woolybacks
I've just been onto the Radio 2 site to find it has crashed! Anything to do with your GORILLA tactics to get the CD played? We, in God's own county, often hear about you northeners using steamroller tactics but have never before witnessed anything. Some of us have got serious folk music to discuss on the message board, SO PACK IT IN!
Dear Mr Barrow Boy are you wheel,and are you
trying to tell us that people want to discuss serious Folk,if so why are the two threads getting the most hits. As for tactic,i suppose looking at it from another angle it was mint to be.We love our traditional folk up north, comedy and song.I do believe you are jealous.I ONCE TRIED JELLIED HEELS BUT I KEPT FALLING OVER.
HAVE A NICE DAY
LIONEL
Now look, I didn't come all the way OOP NORTH just to be insulted!
Now look, I didn't come all the way OOP NORTH just to be insulted!

I think he looks like David Cassidy from the Fartrage Family.
Hopalong Cassidy
Dear Bob,
I think you should entertain us with some tales about your faithful old driver/mate who saw you through those 'heady days' of Workingmens clubs, TV studios, Flying Pickets tours and early morning games of golf!!
Rockin'
Was that Betty Driver of Coronation St.
YES!!! If I remember correctly that driver of yours was a bit of alright....whatever happened to him?

My Bobby.
Do you remember when we first met? I was folding Arthur’s underpants as you came in the launderette on Market Street.
It’s been a long time since you last came. Miracle Acdo is on special at the moment. Do pop in, you can share my sample
Farnworth Lil ay Bob, does the lovely Helen know? Speaking of the lady herself, how is she? i bet she's still as lovely as ever you should take good care of her she's a good en your a lucky fella, just thought i'd nip on and say Hi to all how's it going meatloaf, Lionel? Scotlands not a patch on Bolton, brill clips any chance of some more? You shouldnt waste such a talent Bob.
Willy darling, everyone but everyone knows Farnworth Lil.
I was, and still am a slapper. Looking at me now (http://farnworthlil.blogspot.com/), you can see that I was a stunner in my time.
In the seventies I shagged every famous man who entered the Farnworth city limits. The list is endless:
The Drifters
Freddie Star
Little and Large
Manchester United on their way home from Burnden park one Saturday.
Bob Williamson
As I say, the list is endless.
I had a six month long affair with Bobbie, usually around the back of the Brittania pub on King Street, which backed onto the local bread bakery oven walls. Lovely and warm.
Even now, I cant walk past a loaf of Mothers Pride without the old loins stirring. I know all the ladies in Greggs have the same problem.
Anyhow. Bob. My blog site is going to be totally devoted to you. I cant find a publisher, but the Farnworh Journal has promised to serialise them monthly, with the Catholic Herald taking the clean bits, they will publish in march next year, when the Pope visits Moses Gate.
Well Helen if that's not proof enough for you to leave him and run off with me i don't know what is i would never even look at another woman let alone have an affair with farnworth Lil did you know about them? i still worship you from afar a man can dream.
HEY UP WILLY OCH AYE THE NOO.EVERYTIME I SEE A LONG LEGGED BLONDE I THINK OF YOU.I HOPE ALLS WELL IN SCOTLAND,MEATYS GOT A VIDEO ON YOUTUBE,TAKE A LOOK.
LIONEL
