Roberts Bros Circus: Brum


Brum performing that old chestnut, "You Can't Play That Here", on Roberts Bros. Circus in the UK.

More info from John Cooper: “ Brum was portrayed by Tommy Cook, his family going back several generations in English circus. I don't recognise the ringmaster. It looks like the clip is from a TV recording. Incidentally, "Brum" is an affectionate name for the city of Birmingham in central England.”
