Fred Fielder MBE. His birthday celebration at the Willows Theatre club.

Hi everybody, on Sunday 1st of February I had the pleasure of performing at the Willows for one of my good friends birthday, Fred Fielder. Fred is somewhat of a legend in the north west having been a very popular and well loved DJ on Manchester’s BBC GMR Radio for many years.

Around two years ago I received a phone call from Fred asking if I would join him on his Sunday morning show for a chat about my career as a singer and performer. Of course I jumped at the chance to meet Fred as I had heard many great things about him and his love for music. I turned up at the station in Manchester feeling a little nervous as it was my first interview on live radio, but as soon as I was introduced to Fred he made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. Anybody who has met Fred will tell you what a special character he is, and also a very funny one. To say that I enjoyed the day is an understatement, He played several of my songs and we had a really good chat about where my singing had taken me and what I was hoping to achieve in the future, it was a great day.

Since the interview we have become very good friends, we have performed together at several corporate events, me obviously singing and Fred comparing, it’s always a lot of fun. We also have several friends in common so we regularly bump into each other at birthday parties and other things like that. It was a few months ago that Fred rang and invited me and my family to his 60th birthday bash at the famous ‘Willows’ in Salford. The added bonus for me was that he asked me to perform on the evening, of course I said yes. The Willows is a great venue and has had stars like Joe Longthore and the Drifter’s gracing the stage, I also have performed at the Willows several times before and it’s always a pleasure to go back.

I will be posting footage of my performance at the party in my video section in the next week so keep an eye out as it was a really great night. I will also take the opportunity to wish Fred a late happy birthday and I look forward to performing at his 70th, All the best mate.

Latest cruise ship performance

Hi everybody, I have just returned from performing on the fantastic P+O Arcadia. This ship has always been a particular favourite of mine ever since I first performed on it a couple of years ago. This was also my first time performing on a world cruise, which was great because I was able to see several new destinations like Cairo and Athens. The reason why I am such a fan of the Arcadia is the amazing theatre, with it’s two tiers it certainly has the wow factor and also gives it that ‘West End’ feel.

The audience I have to say were fantastic, you could tell they were up for a good time from the first song. I’m sure any performer will agree that it adds to the atmosphere when everybody is really involved in the show. The Ray Lemond Orchestra were perfect as usual, it is always a pleasure to work with them.

An added bonus to this cruise was that I got to meet up with some friends I had made on previous cruises who are fellow performers, Micky Zany, Hilary O’neill and Linda Radford. Not only are they fantastic artistes, they are also great people. I am back in my beloved Manchester for a couple of weeks doing several shows across the country. I always enjoy performing in the U.K as there are some great venues.

I will be posting several blogs over the next few weeks about forthcoming dates for my shows so keep looking out. And if you want to ask any questions or keep in touch then don’t hesitate to send me an email in my contact section.
