Tony's Show Business Life makes interesting reading

Singer / Songwriter Tony had his first big break in the music  business when he was asked to do a "spot"
on the "Cool for Cats" Show with Ked Dodd. His group "Freddie Were (his real name) and the Werewolves
proved to be a resounding success and subsequently toured the whole of the U.K.

He was "discovered" by E.M.I.Record's Norman Newell and Jack Good with the result that he was soon
contracted to the Parlephone Label in 1962. His first single, recorded at the (soon to become famous)
Abbey Road Studios, was his own song "Stalemate"-backing provide by no less than by the illustrious
John Barry Orchestra...... this proved to be a monster hit all over Europe.
Guided by his Manager Gerald Marks (Managing Editor of Disc Magazine) he went on to record four
more other discs including "Keep a Walking" written especially for him by Neil Sedaka

A contemporary of Cliff Richard, Tony Rocco (as he became) was billed alongside all the great names
of the early sixties, His first TV appearances came on " Thank Your Lucky Stars" (ABC Network),
"Studio Downbeat" (Scottish TV ) and "Young At Heart" (Tyne-Tees TV)
He did numerous live radio appearances including the then famous "Earls Court Radio Show"with
Chubby Checker. Tony also toured the Moss Empire Theatre circuit on the "Winifred Atwell Show"
with Gerry Dorsey  (later to become Englebert Humperdink),  Jimmy James and Ken Platt.

The onslaught of "The Beatles" and the others in the "Group" scene signalled the beginning of the end
for a number of solo singers on the national tour front, but the more talented found a ready audience
on the London cabaret/club scene.
During this period Tony had a successful three years at the famous "21" Club in Mayfair, followed
by another well received spell at Charlie Chester's Club in Archer Street. He the joined the "Magil Five"...
staying with them for about a year from whence he was invited to join the "Ken Mackintosh
Orchestra.....obviously he jumped at this chance to perform with the famous big band sound
.....singing nightly .at the Hammersmith Palais for four whole years and loving every minute of it.

When you watch him on stage performing all the familiar songs you can see immediately......
.................not only has he  learnt his trade well  but he still has all the old magic..............
