One of the most successful entertainers in the U.K., Richard Digance has gone from the late-'60s folk clubs of Glasgow, Scotland, to become one of England's top writer/performers. The host of a popular series of television specials and various other programs, including Stop the World, for the BBC in the 1980s, he moved to Capital Radio in the early '90s. Digance's first solo success came with his 1975 album, How the West Was Lost. Featuring such tongue-in-jowls tunes as "Working Class Millionaire" and "Drag Queen Blues," the album was named Folk Album of the Year by Melody Maker. Digance helped to set up a children's programming company, SKD Media, in 1998. ~ Craig Harris
