The haunting vision of Keith Dalby in the buff as part of a calendar called Driffield Exposed inspired songwriter Shirley Higton to pen a jaunty tune.

The record has been released as part of an album of ditties which has gone on sale to raise money for the same cancer research charity as the calendar.

A radio station has already given the song some air play and Shirley plans to arrange some live performances later in the year in Driffield, Bridlington and Hull.

"I know from past experiences that this is the best way to sell CDs and raise money for local charities," she explained.
Meanwhile, Keith Dalby is philosophical about his growing notoriety.

"The essential element of all this is that it is making money for a good cause, " he said.

The song is a little bit cheeky and naughty but the vet accepted that the songwriters had to be allowed to use their poetic licence.

The CD containing 12 humorous songs costs £5. All Proceeds go to Cancer Research. For further information contact Shirley Higton on tel (01262) 604866, e-mail willowstudio@gmail.com, or send cheque/postal order for £5.50 (incl p/p) with postal details to Shirley Higton, Willow Studio, 8 Teesdale Mews, Bridlington YO16 6FJ.

Meanwhile, for those who want to see the original photo of Keith Dalby and other local business people, the calendar is still on sale, with copies available from the Aldgate Veterinary Practice at St John's Place off Albion Street, Driffield.

Called 'Brid's Own Naked Vet', the song includes the lyrics:

From Monday to Friday 9am until 10
You can make an appointment to see naked men
So if you have a problem with one of your pets
please contact Keith Dalby, Brid's own naked vet!
Keith said all God's creatures great or small
are much more content wearing no clothes at all.
And my colleagues admit that they feel so ecstatic
now they don't have to worry about their knicker elastic.
