A Musicians Union dispute blacked out the recording of a BBC Christmas show by Andy
A Musicians Union dispute blacked out the recording of a BBC Christmas show by Andy Williams at Warwick University. Musicians refused to play for him and 1, 300 fans were told the show was cancelled. But the 50-year-old star decided some sort of show should go on. Backed by a pianist instead of the anticipated full concert orchestra, he gave a 45-minute stage performance. And Midlands-born comedian Lenny Henry, who was also due to have been in the show, stayed on to add another 25-minute act.
