Chic Murray

Chic Murray began an apprenticeship in engineering at Kincaid's shipyard in 1934, whilst employing his musical talents in amateur groups such as "The Whinhillbillies" and "Chic and His Chicks". He formed a double-act with his wife, Maidie Dickson. Billed as "The Tall Droll with the Small Doll" (and also as "Maidie and Murray") their combination of jokes and songs made them a popular attraction on television and in theatres throughout the country. She was 4'11" tall and he was 6' 3" tall.
