Diz Disley was born in Canada to Welsh parents and played banjo and guitar in trad jazz bands and the skiffle boom of the 1950s. In the 1960s he became a favourite of the folk clubs, mixing Django Reinhardt style guitar with a comedian’s timing. From 1973 he toured the world with the violinist Stéphane Grappelli.
