Regular listeners to BBC Radio Cambridgeshire will be familiar with the region's favourite 'vocal yokel', Dennis of Grunty Fen, who lives in a converted railway carriage with his 92-year-old granny.

Yes, this local hero is completely batty. Yet his bike is adorned with three royal feathers, for he is, officially, Banjoist to Her Majesty. From Cambridge in the West to Ely in the East and as far North as Sandringham, he is a renowned repository of wisdom, much in demand as an after-dinner speaker and singer of songs which he 'makes up out of me own head' including 'The Rhubarb March' and 'Ladder to the Moon', both regularly featured on BBC radio.

Audiences all over the country and beyond are appreciating the wit and wisdom which make Dennis, quite simply, 'Britain's favourite vocal yokel'.
