aka Norman "Banjo" Patterson
NB: Not to be confused with Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson.
Singer (tenor), whistler.
Norman "Banjo" Patterson was a well-known North Queensland entertainer during the 1910s. Initially based at Charters Towers, and later at Townsville, he came to prominence as a member of the Charters Towers minstrel company (T.O.M.C.A.T.S.) during the years 1909-1911. Often billed during this period as the "Human Canary," Patterson also developed a singing and whistling act that was popular as "between-films" entertainment with locals.
After moving to Townsville in the early 1910s he continued to perform with local minstrel companies, at concerts and at picture houses - including those at Cairns and Charters Towers. Patterson also occasionally performed further afield, including Rockhampton (1918). His last known performances were in Townsville in 1922.
