Alfred Boggarty

Alfred Boggarty is an old man, around 65 years of age, and plays piano/keys in The Nobbly Ostrich. He was brought up on rockney music (a portmanteau of rock and cockney), which mixes "pub singalong, music-hall humour, boogie-woogie piano and pre-Beatles rock 'n' roll” (nicked all that from Google).

Before The Nobbly Ostrich
Alfred was born in East London, and so has a slight cockney accent. He moved to Mexborough in 2003 as part of a tax dodge. He never properly learnt piano, he picked it up from the bartender at The Hog's Kidney, and often plays songs on the piano in there.

The Nobbly Ostrich
He enjoys Robin’s music, yet despises the shite the young ones pump out. His songs are very much piano based, and he sings on most of them, although he’s not the best singer ever.

Personal Life
His relationship with his wife Anna Boggarty is apparently not very good. They were divorced years ago, but accidentally remarried in Hull a few years later.
