Does anyone have more extensive information about Johnny Arthey? When was he born, where, where did he die? Does anyone have more information about him save his Eurovision participations (1970, 1971, 1977)?
Thanks in advance.

So soon after Ronnie Hazlehurst's death, someone else who conducted for UK at Eurovision has passed away. Johnny Arthey conducted and arranged for Mary Hopkin and Clodagh Rodgers in the 1970 and 1971 contests.

Sadly true - I just spoke to his wife.
Quite sudden. Stomach tumour.
Funeral this Friday.

Responsible for many of the very best arrangements on my hits, a lovely lovely guy - patient, creative, kind, talented and decent in every way.
