Freddie Starr White Rock Pavilion Hastings 1st May 1983
Barry Newton… I seem to remember going to this, great laugh
Dawn Leaney… I went to this , l was only 22 and had front row tickets. I spent the whole show hoping that he wouldnt pick me out for ridicule
Colin Bell… One of the funniest guys i ever worked with, it was impossible, he made me crack up multiple times every time i went to speak!
Jacquie Hinves… What a super nice man Freddie was. X
Peter Thomson… Saw him just a year or so earlier at Kings. One of the funniest shows ever.
Nick Tutt… I was at this one. Amazing bloke. Kept my head down when he looked my way. Current gf wore a bright pink leopard spot dress… he seemed to miss it thankfully lol
Matt Thomas… I remember working the bar at his performance at White Rock 89/90? He did two shows in one evening (both sell outs), both bars open and even the rarely opened spot bar that was situated inside the auditorium. A big performer who knew how to entertain.
