The Three Monarchs - England (1)
The Monarchs were formed in 1946 by Eric Yorke (d. 1997)
and Les Henry (born Henry Leslie, and known on stage as "Cedric";
1920–2007), along with Jimmy Prescott and Johnny Crowe. Eric Yorke had begun
performing in his teens, and in 1936 featured as "The Harmonica Kid"
on Carroll Levis' talent shows, on radio and on tour. Les Henry won solo
harmonica championships and had his own award-winning harmonica group before
touring in the Second World War with ENSA. He turned down an offer from Harry
Secombe and Spike Milligan to help form their new comedy group - who became The
Goons - in order to form the Monarchs at the end of the war.
