	Wilson, Keppel and Betty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wilson, Keppel and Betty were a popular British music hall act who capitalised on the trend for Egyptian imagery following the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun.
		The lithe Wilson and Kepple would demonstrate their impressive suppleness in adopting wild angular gestures, while Betty watched their antics.
		According to "Kindly Leave the Stage - a history of Variety, 1919 - 1960", by Roger Wilmut (ISBN 0-413-48960-4), Jack Wilson (born in Liverpool) and Joe Keppel (born in Ireland) met in the USA, where they started the trio act with Betty Knox in 1910.

	Tidskrift.nu: Jakten på Wilson, Keppel & Betty
		Det var Wilson och Keppel i artisttrion Wilson, Keppel & Betty.
		Efter Keppels återkomst bildade Shenton en komedi- och dansgrupp kallad The Billy Shenton trio, som blev en stor succé i England, övriga Europa och i Australien.
		Wilson, Keppel och Betty är alla döda och begravna, men till all lycka efterlämnade de åtta minuter av alldeles oförfalskat och uppfriskande vanvett.

	VARIETY JUBILEE
		"Wilson, Keppel And Betty", were for thirty years one of the top speciality acts in British Variety.
		Billed as "Eccentric Dancers", the team were originally Jack Wilson, Joe Keppel and Betty Knox.
		Jack from Liverpool and Joe from Cork met in America and teamed up with Betty in 1910, but when they came to Britain in 1932, she was succeeded by her daughter (also called Betty).

	PeoplePlay UK - Wilson, Keppel and Betty
		Wilson, Keppel and Betty formed the greatest eccentric dance act of all time.
		Wilson and Keppel were two doleful, gangling, moustachioed, skinny-legged, and obviously English men.
		They even turn up (or their costumes do) as Gulli, Gulli and Betti in Terry Pratchett’s Jingo – once the fez and nightshirt were out of the bag, no reader needed the parodied name to get the reference.

		Lady Macbeth, as you might have guessed, is a man - Henry, the stage manager - co-opted very reluctantly at the last minute and proving more adept with a hammer than with the intricacies of iambic pentameter.
		Still, he soldiers on heroically, giving a new meaning to the word "deadpan" and looking like a bizarre cross between Harpo Marx, Adolf Hitler and Keppel (of Wilson Keppel and Betty).
		Since he also doubles as all eight ghostly kings, this is a performance beyond the call of duty.

		The opening lyrics state "All the old paintings on the tombs, They do the sand dance don't you know".
		The reference to the sand dance is possibly a reference to a music hall routine performed by Wilson, Keppel and Betty where Wilson and Keppel danced around in the postures portrayed on the reliefs wearing the fez while Betty watched.
		Another cover of the song was done by the German punk rock band Die Ärzte who wrote German lyrics to the original melody and called their cover "Geh'n wie ein Ägypter" which also features The Incredible Hagen on vocals.

	Re: Gandy Dancer
		I have to admit that in the back of my mind I had an image of gandy dancers being the same as sand dancers.
		The fact that they sustained a career over many years (and several Bettys, who like Lassie kept reincarnating) is notable in itself.
		Maybe that's a testament to the hidden depths in their act or maybe to the English's love for the eccentric.

		Blokes in their sixties are still in need of medication to help them sleep at night haunted as they are by the memory of Willie Henderson and Davie Wilson.
		And for a long time cobwebs attached themselves to the art form as coaches went for midfield muscle and full backs who needed a visa to cross the halfway line.
		Critics would tag him a sand-dancer, but there is more to this routine than the music hall act of Wilson, Keppel and Betty.

		WK&B were on one night, and we copied the music (don't tell the Music Police!!).
		Date: 15 May 04 - 08:13 PM I vaguely recall seeing a parody of WK&B's 'Sand Dance' done at a 'Sod's Opera', done by two bods in naval uniform and one 'dragged up' as a wren - they performed as "Nelson, Keppel & Beaty" (The act was pretty dire and best forgotten).
		By all accounts there were numerous "Betty's" used during the time the Sand Dance was performed over the years.

		Later Mark discovered that the shabby looking man was in fact one of the greatest variety acts of all time.
		It was Jack Wilson of Wilson, Keppel and Betty fame.
		One of the most nerve wracking moments in the life of Mark Raffles was during a performance at the little Hippodrome at Dover when the Germans brought their Big Bertha guns in to action firing across the 22 miles of the English Channel.

		Visits to the Apollo Theatre are normally a treat but The Nativity, with its quirky treatment of the Christmas story, moved me to the point of having to resist joining in with the actors’ chorus of “No, no, no”, which was provoked by Abraham’s move to slay son Isaac.
		Laced with moments including Wilson, Keppel and Betty-lookalike Kings with their gold, frankincense and myrrh gifts and a Monty Pythonesque second-half scene involving the three shepherds and a madman, it just did not hit the spot and I was never quite sure whether Farr intended this to be controversial and thought-provoking.
		If that is the case, it comes as a relief to know that the rushing sound in my ears could have been the sound of a masterpiece whizzing over my head.

		Karen's first job was to take Catrina to her school netball training - in 30+ degrees C! Once she had got over the surprise and we had had a sleep it was important to get her out of the house while preparations were made for the party.
		First of all Betty and Karen went with her to collect Catrina from the netball which had been cut short because of the heat: despite consuming the best part of thre litres of water she was like all the rest of the girls really feeling the heat..
		We really needed him - it would have been Wilson, Keppel and Betty rather than Ruby, Brian and Betty without him.

		This entire act was faithfully continued after Evans's death in 1962 by Les Dawson - it was not plagiarism, however, but an act of homage: the young Manchester-born comic was the first to admit that Evans did it first.
		These four shows were presented under the Saturday Comedy Hour banner; notably, the edition of 13 October 1956 featured as guests the wonderfully surreal comedy of sand-dancers Wilson, Keppel And Betty.
		Another star guest in the series was Mrs Shufflewick, a cockney comic character also played by a man in drag, Rex Jameson.

		I simply wish to know which Wilson tried to muscle in on your recent sceance.
		It was whichever one of them wears a fez and a knee-length nightgown and does a ludicrous sand-dance aping the postures of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

		"I wanna get some birds in to do a bit of that", he shouts above the music, going into a Wilson, Keppel and Betty sort of Pharao's dance.
