The death of actor Nicky Henson was reported yesterday. Here, for example:

There is a Shadows connection of sorts because Nicky was once married to actress / dancer Una Stubbs (of Una Stubbs fame), but the Guardian obit also says that he:
"...recorded his first single in 1961 and had a three-year contract writing songs for the Shadows and Cliff Richard...".
Not recognising the name as a composer, I checked my Shadows track database. The name "Henson" does not feature in it, either for The Shadows or Cliff and The Shadows. Does anyone know anything about that contract? One thing that occurred to me was that it might not have been in the name "Henson", though that does seem to have been Nicky's real surname.
