My name 'Blue' came from a cartoon character in the famous "Goon Show" the character was payed by Peter Sellers and was named 'Bluebottle'.  See this site for more details http://www.thegoonshow.net/. It was originally a radio show but in the early sixties the 'TeleGoons' were created. Luckily for me people shortened it to just Blue. The name was given to me by Gary Cooper (real name Edward) Charlotte Church's grandfather. He played sax with a local Cardiff group called 'The Sect Maniacs" and he thought I looked like the character. Obviously as you can see there is absolutely no resemblance but thank you Gary as the name stuck and was good for my career as people always remembered it. There was a song called 'Bluebottle Blues' I will get the original track and post here sometime.

Well now the truth is finally out so all enjoy......
