    Did he ever play for the Tigers? I can't find any record of him doing so.

    A decent artist in his day, he survived the onslaught of Rock n Roll to preserve his fan base although some people just don't like country music. RIP Slim.

    A favourite of my mother she took me to see him at Blackpool in my mid-teens. My husband saw him in Hull in the 50's but does not remember the venue being Hull City Hall. Whitman came to Hull on a farewell tour in 2002 and appeared at the New Theatre so that may be confusing him. Also he went to see another "Yodeller" in Hull in the fifties called Frank Ifield( Australian).

    Slim Whitman's 'Rose Marie' topped the charts for a record 11 weeks in the UK for a long time. For Hull music 'Buffs' what recording had held the previous record of 10 weeks at No1?

    RIP Slim.
