Born
Billy Connolly served an apprenticeship as a welder in the Glasgow shipyards in the 1960s before turning to folk music with the Humblebums. His long, rambling stand-up stories are steeped in the banter, characters and gallows humour of the yards, and he has always credited the shipbuilders with teaching him to be funny.
