The 20 years that I spent as UK manager for Judith Durham were the best of my life. On her Diamond Tour she sang in the Royal Festival Hall, London, on her 60th birthday, and her fans loved it. The politician Tony Benn invited us to go and see him: he and Judith drank tea and signed each other’s books.
She was in awe of the voice of Vera Lynn, and with Vera’s daughter I fixed up a telephone call between them. Once we had got through Vera’s call-screening device, the two spoke for 20 minutes – a precious memory.
