The Great

At the end of an hour and a half of singing countless great tunes from the past Masters an old Boy said to me "You have been miming all night, Haven't you?"

Whilst on holiday in France I was fortunate enough to sing a number of songs with a local band, and at the end of the session a lovely middle aged couple came over to me with a drink and said, "We wish to thank you on behalf of the whole of Germany for a wonderful evening!"

This next one occurs at most of my gigs, (Though I'm not sure why)  "Has anyone ever told you, you look so much like Yul Bryner, and he was gorgeous!"

If its not the above then this would be the shout, "I hope your wife doesn't mind me saying, but you have a lovely bum!"

The NOT So Great

At the end of a really fun night a lovely old dear called me over and said, "I've had a wonderful evening son, tell me how old are you.  No let me guess.........57?"

Whilst singing the classic Bobby Darin song `THINGS' it is not unusual for me to serenade one of the female guests with the line "I'm still thinking how much I love you"unfortunately on one occasion whilst singing the said line, the lady looked across at me and said, "GET LOST !"Well you can't win them all I guess.

As you can probably imagine live entertainment does have its share of embarrassing moments and here's a classic, one night I entered the concert room to a song and as I sang I floated through the audience, smiling and nodding as I went along, feeling quite smug as I received numerous smiles and winks, until I turned to make my way back to the stage at which time my wife Jan gently told me I had entered the room with my trouser zip fully open Oh S..t !  More embarrassing was the fact that nobody noticed.

I think this has to be the ultimate embarrassing moment, and also highlights just what a dangerous game live entertainment is.
I recently had the pleasure of working at The Middleton Cricket Club, Manchester, to a sell out audience. I had a brilliant idea to open the show with a bang !  I decided I would open with the outstanding `Don't Rain On My Parade'  (Which I had only started to learn 2 weeks earlier) To increase the impact I entered from the rear of the concert room and made my way to the stage walking through the audience whilst singing the song. Everything went well at first as I managed to come in on the right beat, and nailed the first few lines, but then disaster struck ! As I was halfway through the room I completely forgot the words and had to continue my walk, humming, whistling and generally trying to make up the words as I went along. Oh well `That's Life' and there's another song.  Its at this point that I should just warn you that lightning DOES strike twice because my flag ship Video for this web site is also `Don't Rain on my Parade' and watch carefully because halfway through I briefly lose my place.

Well there you go folks, that's me warts and all, have FUN that's all I ask. See ya soon !

Would just like to say our party throughly enjoyed your act when we stayed at the Canasta on the 10th February 2007 (my 50th birthday). You may remember my daughter singing when you said she had a lovely voice and could be professional. (Keep on singin')
