Paddy Roberts (born 1910 in South Africa, died 1975 in UK) was a funnier version of Noel Coward and is now a DJ's icon, thanks to his song on the "Strictly for Grown Ups" LP. The song is called 'The Big Dee Jay' and has been used by all manner of DJs, including the infamous DJ Yoda to introduce / end sets. I truly remarkable man with a truly remarkable wit.
