HALFWAY
TO PARADISE: THE BILLY FURY STORY |
|
| Thursday
19th June 2008 - 7.30pm |
| It's
been ten years since Fury's Tornados donned
the suits once more, tuned up their instruments
and stepped back out onto the stage to perform
the songs that have bought so much pleasure
to so many fans across the years.... "They
are, of course, the songs of Billy Fury.
An icon of British pop, Billy was a true
Rock ‘N' Roller. During the 60's he
sold more singles for Decca than the Rolling
Stones, and amazingly scored more hit 45's
in the 60s than the Beatles! As Fury's Tornados,
we were Billy's longest serving band, backing
him throughout the 70s. After Billy ceased
touring through ill health, we split and
went our separate ways, convinced that no
one could ever come close to sounding or
looking like our old friend, colleague and
boss". In 1996 a young man appeared
on national TV singing "Halfway To
Paradise". That man was Colin Gold
and his voice and manner were good - very
good... Of course, no one could ever replace
Billy, but Colin has an uncanny natural
vocal ability that both Fury's Tornados
and fans alike adore. "A voice blessed
from Heaven". The rest, as they say,
is history. On February 14th 1997 "The
Billy Fury Experience" hit the stage,
acknowledged as being the most authentic
accolade to the original ‘Pop Idol'.
After 20 years...Fury's Tornados perform
again...
