Peter Kaye
Getting the job as host of The Black and White Minstrel Show was 'the biggest break of my life' says Peter Kaye.
Four years ago he threw in his job as a commercial artist to become a singer-starting work in pubs for a few shillings. Now he's making the big time with the Black and White Minstrels: 8.25.
