      This is the story of one of Wales's most famous double acts: Ryan Davies, the mischievous entertainer, and Ronnie Williams, the gifted straight man. In the 1960s and 1970s, they were idols in the entertainment industry in Wales, and their incredible combination of comedy, sketches, and songs led to a highly successful double act both on stage and on television. Legendary broadcaster Hywel Gwynfryn knew Ryan and Ronnie well during their heyday as Wales's premier entertainers. In this book, he tells their stories from childhood to stardom and everything in between. Village hall gigs, their introduction to television, and the mass audience that followed are chronicled in detail here, as well as the troubles that plagued both men, as individuals and as a partnership.
