 That same year Diz played the conductor in the Harrison Marks film "The Chimney Sweeps" (1963), a slapstick comedy starring Pamela Green.In the early to mid 60s, the "trad" and skiffle booms were coming to an end and Disley moved across to the emerging folk club scene, developing a new persona as an entertainer/musical comedian with an act based on songs from trad jazz and the British music hall and other humorous ditties accompanied by lightly swinging guitar, monologues in the manner of Stanley Holloway (especially those penned by Marriott Edgar), banter with the audience, and a string of one-line jokes in the manner of W. C. Fields and Groucho Marx, always finding room at the end of the evening for some hot-club-style guitar instrumentals, often with the assistance of some unsuspecting second guitarist invited up from the audience.He was also employed by the BBC as compere for a number of shows, including introducing The Beatles on their first London concert.
