Does anyone out there have the words of Max Boyce's song about Barry John? Part of the song goes - 'They broke the mould of solid gold they used for Barry John.' Please help if you can :)

Try Googling for The Outside Half Factory and you'll find it all over the Internet. By the way the song isn't actually about Barry John although it does mention him of course. -- Derek Ross | Talk 06:22, 2004 Nov 14 (UTC)

[edit] Personal life

I've added a 'Personal life' section with a brief statement about his family, but it's possible that this information is outdated. I have read in several places that Max may actually be bi-sexual, and has left his wife. This may be nothing more than baseless rumour, but I've read this in several places (no authoritative websites like news agencies, but it makes you wonder). Can anyone clear this up, and possibly provide a source supporting or contradicting this? Thanks. Rob Lindsey 12:38, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Disc a Dawn"

I've found references to Max appearing on the first ever Welsh-language music programme, Disc a Dawn. Apparently, he mentioned this show to Stuart Cable on his TV show "Cable Connects" in November 2005 - not sure where it fits in his rise to fame, but more info on this would be nice. Cheers.

[edit] Dead end

I have been expanding and improving this article for a month, but I have now reached a dead end. If other users have access to the Max Boyce episodes of This Is Your Life or Cable Connects listed at the bottom of the article, you might be able to add to what I have written. Album booklets (which I don't currently possess) may well uncover other little-known facts about the great man too. Rob Lindsey 12:06, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Treorchy cover.jpg

Image:Treorchy cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Early years in Aberdare

I question the accuracy of the statement that "Max Boyce has always lived in the town of Glynneath". He attended a Welsh language primary school near Aberdare for a while. I've seen the photos! --Darren Wyn Rees (talk) 13:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
