Roger Whittaker,   Durham Town   folk singer, who was also widely known for his expert whistling, has died at the age of 87. Roger was one of Kenya's favourite singers. He was also a great friend of the late journalist Mike Parry who knew Roger's Kenya family very well. I had the privilege of meeting Roger on several occasions including one before and and after his Sydney concerts. A very special gentle man. His other singles were  The Last Farewell  and  New World in the Morning , and according to his website, he sold close to 50 million records worldwide.He began performing in folk clubs before finding fame in 1986 with a duet with Des O'Connor called the  Skye Boat  Song. He could sing in a variety of languages. He was able to appeal to a large audience because to their inclusion of German and French, notably in Germany where he was quite well-liked. His parents, who were English citizens from Staffordshire, were born in Nairobi, Kenya. He was born ...

  ALFRED VIENNA,  MY GRANDFATHER       THE eulogy delivered by Marc Mwai Kibaki at his grandfather Alfred Vienna’s memorial Mass is the embodiment of a grandson’s pure love for his grandfather. Marc is an eloquent speaker, a trait he inherited from his paternal grandfather, the late President of Kenya, Mwai Kibaki, and, of course, his strong relationship with Alfred shines through. I would like to think that young Marc is going places, at least, he was born to succeed. With his words, he brings to life the Alfred Vienna that some of us might have forgotten, robbed by the passing years and time apart. Please enjoy and share it.     In Loving Memory   8th February, 1939 – 24th August, 2023   Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends, we gather here today to honour and celebrate Alfred Vienna's incredible life, a man whose journey through time touched the lives of many and left an imprint on our hearts. As we say goodby...
