Norman's widow, on seeing Tommy perform this on television said it was the best she had seen.He appeared on playbills as ‘Tommy Trafford - Laughs from Lancs’. In later life he specialised in playing pantomime dames (harking back to Norman Evans), putting on annual Christmas pantomimes at Southport between the 1960s and 1980s, for which he earned the sobriquet ‘Mr Southport’. With his business partner and fellow actor, singer and dancer he also ran a theatrical costume hire business as well as jointly producing summer shows and old time music hall. (en)
