Chic Murray was brought up in the land of sugar, ships
and showers. He got a lot of his tales from the Tail of the Bank - joiners,
platers, plumbers in the yard, were his main source of supply. A very funny
man, originality in style was the keynote. He toured the halls both as a double
act with his 4 feet 11 inches high wife Madie - a clever wee lass, as a feed, a
singer and accordionist.
Chic's fun was plucked from life. He perhaps
combined the humour of two of his mates and the character that emerged was a
riot. The two workmen, who were the subject of his impersonation, probably
didn't twig it but they certainly enjoyed the result.
Latterly Chic was
making films all over the world. In fact when one bumped into him in Glasgow
and asked him what he was doing - "doing" he would repeat indignantly "I
suppose because you don't see me at the theatre or on the local TV you think
I'm not working. Listen fellah I can't do half the work I'm offered. I arrived
from Germany this morning. I'm making a film out there - they like me there you
know - and flying out to Hollywood on Tuesday for another film. Back here I've
got two jobs to do for Bill Forsyth - I like him. Yes it's busy, busy, I'm
thinking of doing the love life of a lamplighter - ha ha !" He was a big
success in a cameo part in Bill Forsyth's 'Gregory's Girl' where he
played a headmaster and was ideal for the role but a few eyebrows were raised
when he gave a girl permission to play in the boy's football
team.
