The man was spotted entertaining town centre shoppers earlier this week - singing and dancing to a string of hits in front of bemused bypassers.

He was spotted on Baxter Gate on Monday lunchtime, singing a version of Dean Martin's Slow Boat To China. It is thought to be the first time he has been in action for several months.

Last year, the Stetson wearing crooner up position in the same street and treated passers-by to songs such as Let’s Dance by Chris Montez and Please Release Me by Engelbert Humperdinck in his own inimitable style.

Last summer, assistants at the nearby Ann Summers shop were spotted giggling as the man, dressed in a cowboy hat and brightly coloured waistcoat, swivelled his hips and danced along to his songs.

This time round, he ditched the hat but was still drawing looks from shoppers as he entertained lunchtime crowds.

Passers-by on that occasions were treated to songs such as The Power Of Love by Jennifer Rush, When You Walk In The Room by The Searchers and Hero by Enqriue Iglesias.
