Before the band started playing 'Whistling Rufus', there was a bit of giggling among the musicians - and Bob told us a little background story. Princess Margaret was a big fan of the band in the 1950's, and went to many of their concerts. Before one of these she was backstage to meet the musicians - when she saw Chris she sidled up to him and asked if he could play one of her favourite numbers 'Whispering Rupert'. The boys in the band heard this, and from then on, Chris Barber was called 'Rupert'.
