Max Boyce

Max Boyce is a Welsh comedian and singer, who came to national fame during the mid-1970s as a result of the phenomenal success of the Welsh rugby football team of that period.

Max had appeared unsuccessfully on the television talent show[?], Opportunity Knocks[?], shortly before releasing his first album, Live at Treorchy, in 1973. It was a recording of a live performance at Treorchy[?] Rugby Club, with plenty of audience participation. The songs on the album, especially, Hymns and Arias[?], soon became popular with rugby crowds, and for several years the entertainer appeared regularly on stage, television and radio, recording further hit albums such as We All Had Doctors' Papers.

The lack of success of the Welsh rugby team during the 1990s caused a downturn in Max Boyce's career, but he continues to perform and tour.
