Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
This troupe of showgirls was assembled by Johnny Pugh's father Digger Pugh who was well known for his training & providing girls for a vast number of shows in many parts of the world (many in the US)
I have known (& still know) quite a few of them from both Big Bertha & Beatty
Frank McClosky & Walter Kernan were married to a couple of them Brenda McClosky & Bonnie Kernan
Art Concello after his divorce of incredible aerialist partner Antoinette then married one of Digger Pugh's girls Margaret She has out lived him & remains in retirement here in Sarasota
I have searched for years to re-connect with my Beatty show friend, Kathy Brookes. On the show that year, '64, we solemnly discussed working up a hanging perch act. I liked our "Limey broads", and Kathy was my favorite.
