Very sad to read this thread. Vinny Cadman and his family had a hard life. He was talented in many ways and like a lot of comedians, was complex. He still has family who love and miss him. He may not have quite hit the big time but he came very close and would have but for his health. People from 'the white houses' and surrounding areas, Norley Hall, Worsley Hall, Marsh Green etc have long been looked down on, especially his age group when times were very, very different. My hubby grew up in the White Houses. We should celebrate people like Vinny who dealt with many challenges to get as far as he did. I remember him meeting Oliver Reed, Freddie Starr and others... RIP Vinny, you talented lad. xx
