I saw Blaster at the Sunderland Empire many many years ago - he was brilliant

I loved blaster bates.

very good man ......rip

I worked with Blaster near Crewe he was blowing tree trunks to smaller pieces, i had to roll them over with my JCB. He then said take off down the field or ill blow your machine to bits.. lovely bloke. 😬😁😁😁

Love listening to a bit of Blaster Bates, had so many brilliant stories told with marvellously colourful language

Legend

Love a bit of blaster

my mam introduced me to blaster

I and my dad  laughed 😅 to tiers  listening to blaster. He  was so very funny.

As a resident of Sandbach I mis Blaster he lived half a mile away from myself and  we would meet up at the local clay shoot from time to time. I last had a conversation with him at the Doctors surgery not long after he was called to sort out a chimney for the  big man up stairs.

Loved Shower of S**t over Shropshire, Knicker Brook etc

I’ve always been a fan of the old blaster man, I’ve just found this recording and ironically I live in Stratford upon Avon, sadly the Hilton sold up to Crown Plaza, everything good here has gone. Bring back the good old days.

Now THIS is indeed a memory re-capture; long lost laffs and enjoyment !  👏🤣

Good clean comedy I was introduced to him by my grandad over 30 years ago now in my 50 still find him great to listen to

Imagine Blaster Bates, Fred Dibnah and air-traffic controller Dave Gunson (after-dinner speech "What Goes Up... Might Come Down"). Put them in a room together, ply them with a pint or so. And you'd be in for a hilarious evening. One of the fantasy celebrity evenings that never was.

One of BB's funniest stories is one that I heard on a tape that a friend lent me many years ago and which I've never managed to find on Youtube since. It concerned Santa coming down the chimney to bring presents. In one room he encounters a nubile young woman who tempts him with her body, but he resists several times because he has a lot of work to do and anyway he's a good Santa. However eventually she divests her last bit of clothing and stands before him stark naked. "Sod it. I'll have to stay now. I'll never get back up the chimney now, not with this massive stiffy." The way BB told it had me in stitches.

Starts off at a low volume but stick with it, the audio quality gets better as it goes on.

Hilarious! Wonder how long before YouTube take it down for "non-PC"? lol

Good real life fun.

Absolutely love him
I have made it my mission in the last couple of years to source the Blaster bates albums and restore them before they are lost to the archives. I did try to get hold of some of the interviews they mentioned such as parkinson and the bbc2 show but i think these have been lost. Your recording is very good and with your permission i would like to restore it.  The only one i have been unsuccessful in finding is 1001 gelignites on cassette tape. If anyone could help with this i would be most grateful. The cassettes are the easiest to restore.

HOW ON EARTH DID YOU FIND THIS ALBUM? 😮
Blaster and his wife, Maude were friends of our family and I have all his volumes on vinyl signed.

I know those albums word for word and they still have me roaring with laughter,  yet until i saw this i had no idea it existed.
