Gumshield To Greasepaint
Rocky Mason's autobiography - Gumshield to Greasepaint - telling of his boxing career & days at Butlins is available here from Authorhouse.co.uk. The synopsis on the back cover of the book reads, "Rocky Mason fought his way through adversity to a successful career in showbiz. His tough childhood led to a boxing career where he accumulated 69 straight wins in 87 bouts losing only eight. As a PTI in the forces he fought at the National Sporting Club in the presence of the president Colonel Basil Brown, also a director of the Butlin Holiday Camp Empire. On his demob, after two years living rough and bumming around the continent, he was offered a job as a Redcoat boxing instructor at Butlins and his life was to change forever. With the Colonel as his mentor he became an entertainer with his own show 'Rendezvous with Rocky' and covered Butlin TV presentations for many years. He became close friends with Mr. Robert Butlin, and Sir Billy himself and was proud to be an usher, on Sir Billy's sad demise, at the great man's memorial service at St Martins-in-the-Field. At the same time Rocky became a personal friend of almost every showbiz star in the country many of whom have contributed to this book. Also within these pages are personal anecdotes, jokes and amusing stories of wonderful times spent with these remarkable people."
