Danny Purches, the gypsy singer born and bred in a caravan, was discovered singing in London’s Leicester Square by BBC producer Henry Caldwell. Busking in the London streets, Danny sometimes earned 30 in a week. Caldwell gave him a chance on TV. Later, Stanley Black signed him up to sing with his orchestra. After a fabulous success at Sunday concerts with the Eric Delaney Band, Danny signed a five-year contract worth 10,000 with Foster’s Agency. He wears one ear-ring, a gypsy custom denoting that the wearer is fancy free, the other being hung on a chain round his neck.”Danny Purches
