Rip Sidney Devine
Probably not known by many English members, but an iconic Scottish singer, Sidney Devine, has died aged 81. Some thought he was a bit soppy and sentimental but he sold thousands of albums over many years and gave his audiences 100%. I remember his as a young man playing in my home town - my mum loved him.

Absolutely nothing on that website, nor on Wikipedia or elsewhere, seems to mention him ever performing outside of Scotland. He had his own television series but that was only on STV. His albums were issued on a specialist label for Scottish music, Scotdisc. (He sold around 15 million albums). So it's probably unsurprising that most English people won't have heard of him.
